Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom. 2 Corinthians 3:17

Attitude. Its everything. Its the one thing you have complete control over. How you respond to your circumstances - positive or negative, is your choice. But its not easy. The path to freedom begins when you realize you always have a choice-even when you feel you don’t. In the darkest times of life, when your options seem limited, you still have a choice. You may be required to choose between bad and worse. You may be able to choose between good and great. But the choice is yours. As long as you are willing to exercise the freedom of choice, you will always have the opportunity to get better, be better, and do better in life. Our heavenly Father sent His only Son to die for you so that you can experience true freedom. He showed His love in a way that you cannot ignore. Being free is choosing to embrace what Jesus did on the cross in your behalf and allowing your life to be different as a result. You must be willing to think differently once youve accepted that grace. No longer do you depend on your own strength and abilities. Gods dream is that you would live in His freedom, not in fear. The choice is yours. Choose to walk in Him, fulfilling His desire for your life!
Prayer
Dear Lord, Show me the path of true freedom. Help me to yield to You and embrace Your gift of grace that will change my life. Amen.
