Freedom

The day we give our hearts over to God, surrendering all we have, is the day we will discover freedom. His love will grow so deeply in our hearts, because there is finally room for him to love us fully. You see we have to make that room. We have to make that choice that God is all we need! There is nothing or no one who could be enough for us other than Christ! He is enough for us! He designed us to need Him! However, we try to recreate ourselves to be different from God's original design. We allow ourselves to be creator instead of creation. God sees our idolatry and yet we still say we love Him. To love God is to know Him. How can we know Him when we are to busy knowing other things? Creator and creation are not the same roles. Yet we try to make these two roles into what it was never created to be. God  should be our focus, not ourselves or people. When we allow God to take His rightful position in our lives, that is when all things will be in order. "But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you."- Matt 6:33 Are we seeking God or creation? Let us be reminded that we did not design ourselves nor this earth. How dare we think we are higher than God. Imagine the hurt we cause Him. We can't say we love God and do as we want. That isn't love. We have taken love and placed our own definition on it, which then comes against God, because we care more about our personal desires. We should only be about our Father's business. What business do we have without Him? Freedom comes through total submission to God. This is also called obedience. We no longer will be slaves to sin. "For we know that our old self was crucified with him so that the body ruled by sin might be done away with, that we should no longer be slaves to sin."- Romans 6:6  Let us leave what is old behind us! It is time to experience God's love in total surrenderance. That is how we will experience FREEDDOM.
""I have been crucified with Christ; and it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me; and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself up for me"- Galatians 2:20
