LIVING FREE

The easy part is writing about it the hardest part is living and learning.  When you let go of things and there in the past that is where you want to leave them.  Once you have been able to accomplish this you're living free.  This is where we all need to be no matter where we are in life.

Mark 8:34-36
Then he called the crowd to him along with his disciples and said. "If anyone would come after me, he must deny himself and take up his cross and follow me.  For whoever wants to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for me and for the gospel will save it.  What good is it for a man to gain the whole world, yet forfeit his soul."

The world that we live in today is all about self.  (The world) there are people and things that will try to get your attention, it's what you do with it that's important.  Stop listening to people who are not giving good Godly advise. Stop watching shows or movies that cause you to reflect back on these past times of our life, rethink what God has planned for us instead. Sometimes I find that television and social media can be my enemy.  That is why I choose what I watch, read and who my friends are very carefully. 

We have to deny ourselves and pick up our cross and follow Him.  He never told us in His word that it was going to be easy or if we would go through tough times.  He did say when we go through.

Romans 6:12-13
"Do no let sin control the way you live; do not give in to sinful desires.  Do not let any part of your body become and instrument of evil to serve sin.  Instead, give yourselves completely to God."

Do not repay evil for evil.  I listen to people talk about he did it, so I'm going to do it to be even. Then we will be even.  NO!  You will never be even so don't go there, you are sinning against God for your body is a temple to Him.  No one should ever make this decision.  Never repay evil for evil.  This is not how to live free.  Give these thoughts to God and ask Him to remove and replace with Godly thoughts and memories. 

Follow Christ and the example He set for us, stand firm on His word and never doubt that God can't handle and change the situation.

Focus on God's best!  Because it is the BEST!
