I've been thinking about the word freedom.
The freedom Christ has already given us.
We tend to think of it as forgiveness – being free from our past. But Jesus didn't stop there. He set us free for a future He'd already prepared for us.
And still, so many women never quite step into it.
They're scared they'll get it wrong. They look at someone else and think, She'd do this better than me. Or they're still carrying a label someone gave them years ago, and it's easier to believe that than what God actually says about them.
So they wait.
They tell themselves it's wisdom, but really it's just fear.
Verse of the Week
'Stand fast therefore in the liberty by which Christ has made us free, and do not be entangled again with a yoke of bondage.'
— Gal. 5:1
Paul doesn't just say we're free. He tells us to stand there.
Freedom isn't only something we receive once – it's something we choose, again and again.
If God has placed something in your heart, don't let fear have the final word. He'll equip you for what He's asked of you, and He's not leaving you to do it alone.
Stand in the freedom He's given you.
Until next week,
Have a blessed day and keep shining! ✨
