Free with the freedom of Spirit, I give expression to the qualities of my sacred soul.

What does it mean to be free? It's about our being free from restrictions on our time and actions. Its about our freedom to choose what we think and believe. Freedom can be defined in as many ways as there are people in the world, yet spiritual freedom encompasses so much more then we can imagine.

Spiritual freedom uplifts us in consciousness so that we have an awareness of God's all-pervading presence. We know to accept nothing less then our freedom to express the attributes of Spirit inherent within us.

We move beyond any previous boundaries that seem to limit our creativity. We are free from any thought, substance or habit that could come between us and our expression of the qualities of our sacred soul.

"Christ has liberated us into freedom. Therefore, stand firm and don't submit again to the yoke of slavery." Galations 5:1

"...for you are called to freedom, brothers; only don't use this freedom as an opportunity for the flesh, but serve one another through love."
Galations 5:13

"...I say then, walk in the Spirit and you will not carry out the desires of the flesh.

I did some research this morning about freedom. I feel bound in my thinking often. I am so human. My flesh desires things I know are not right, yet the right things don't always feel good. This is where faith gets to be practiced. Trusting that Gods ways are the best ways. In the long run, they always are.

I have lived a long time with a bound Spirit, at least that's what I believed. As you can read from what I wrote above, it is obvious that there is freedom in Christ. Christ lives in me, therefore I am free! My Spirit is free and I am allowed to express my creativity in the ways that God designed me to do! I do not need to hold back or slink away out of fear, but rather take a stand and be courageous, doing what He has laid on my heart to do.

WALK IN FREEDOM

LOVE OTHERS

EXPRESS MY UNIQUE CREATIVE SACRED SPIRIT
