How do you know when you’re free?

At the start of this year I had a few weeks to lay low before my final semester of grad school started and I found myself wanting to write again. As I sat down and opened a new Word document, I wasn’t quite sure which part of my heart was wanting to be heard.

Within a few hours, I realized there was a message waiting to be penned, but I still was a bit reluctant to give it voice.

How do you know when you are free?

One definition I found online puts it this way… not or no longer confined or imprisoned…

John 8:36 puts it this way… So if the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed.

And so the words began to flow and thousands of them came. Word-by-word, I have begun to experience new bits of freedom but I won’t settle for just a partial freedom, I want the full thing.

How about you? Is there something holding you captive? Is there a place in your heart that isn’t quite yet free? My prayer for you is that your heart has a touch of freedom today.
