Freedom is a Process

Not many of us have realized that freedom is a gift created with us. People would sometimes label it as something unattainable or hard to gain. Some also said that it can only be attained through hard work and dreams come true. Once you have what you desire, freedom will be with you. Some also see it as a financial breakthrough. Once they are released  from debt and can sustain themselves, they are already free. Some people would say that freedom is the will for you to choose anything you want without any hindrance. Although many people have been looking and searching for freedom, they did not realize its seed was already there within themselves. God planted that together with our existence. It is within and is waiting to be tended and cared for. 

Freedom may seem like a journey that must be walked through and a battle that needs to be won. But it is more of a process and a mindset. Freedom can be attained with or without gaining any material stuff, money, or properties. It is in the heart’s will and desire to unleash the pain of the past. It is there within the deepest part of a person. Freedom is about acceptance and forgiveness. A process that takes courage to face the fear that once imprisoned you. It is about lifting to God all the burdens of your heart. To freely say in your mouth what has been hurting and hunting you all these years. 

When you confess, God will be there to listen to you. He will listen to how you were hurt as a child and how people left scars in your heart that contribute to who you have become today. He will show you why your pain should not be mishandled and that you are brave enough to face it. Fear isn’t who you are. You are loved and dear to the One who made you. You may have been hurt, but He will pull you out of that pain. He is the only One who can heal you from the very depth of your heart.

The process will not be easy, but you can do it. It may look impossible, but believe that all of it shall pass. You deserve that freedom that God has given you. It is now up to you how you will use it. Just give yourself a chance to heal and accept things, and you will live a life where you can serve God with all your heart.

To have freedom is to also love yourself. To care for yourself and to believe that you deserve it. Freedom is all right there within you. Everything that you have to go through is just part of the process. You have to be molded to be that person that you need to be. You need to learn many things to value what you have and who you are. The process will not always sound promising, but God’s word is. You may find it vague at first because it is hard to connect everything together. But trust that it’s all worth it.
