freedom

i've found freedom.
freedom in my god. in my jesus.
a freedom that i have never known could be all 17 years of my life.
a freedom that is unfathomable.
i dont understand how it is.
but it is.
i've found freedom through Him.
my flesh and my heart may fail, but God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever.
my favorite part?
in order to experience this freedom i dont have to do anything.
i breathe and allow Him to fill me up.
thats it. the end.
the hardest part?
i dont have to do anything.
i want a list. i want a 4 step process to freedom. i want to check it off once and for all.
thats not the way this freedom works. its a daily choice to have freedom and truth or to stay in bondage. its a process of allowing Him to fill you up and getting used to not doing anything.
i love this new freedom.
the happiness i feel.
i can hardly express it.
He is my father. my everything. i can run to him and hide and he will keep me safe.
i feel safe.
i feel loved.
i feel free.
