Lady Liberty

Through you the blind will see, through you the mute will sing, through you the dead will rise, through you all hearts will praise, through you the darkness flees, through you my heart screams, "I am free". I am freeee to run, I am free to dance, I am free to live for you, I am free.
Freedom, such a wonderful thing. That's what the will of God amounts to. Freedom from oppression, hurts, anger, bitterness, poverty and sickness and sin. Jesus came to provide freedom for us all. The problem falls in when there are others who do not know of this freedom. We are not all created to be a missionary in a foreign country but, we are commanded to go and preach the gospel in the world around us...we can be a witness in our neighborhood or our own surroundings/environment.
In 2 Corinthians 3;17 it says, "Now the Lord is that Spirit: and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty." Jesus wants to do the will of the Father here on earth but he does it through us.
I think of the Statue of Liberty holding up her torch. Let your light so shine!! I often question the will of God. I need to begin carrying it out instead. In John 14:12 it says, "I tell you the truth, anyone who has faith in me will do what I have been doing. he will do even greater t hings than these, because I am going to the Father." What an awesome reminder how faith is a producer of true actions not just statements.
My bible reading this morning was from Isaiah 61 (whole chapter). It is talking about the Lord anointing us to preach good news to the poor, release prisoners form darkness, proclaim the year of the Lord's favor, comfort all who mourn and it goes on and on. I urge you to read it. In verse 10 a) it says, "I delight greatly in the LORD my soul rejoices in my God." v.11 - For as the soil makes the sprout come up and a garden causes seeds to grow, so the Sovereign Lord will make righteousness and praise spring up before all nations!" How amazing that by taking steps of faith to obey His calling and will for our lives we can be a part of those seeds growing and the freedom of people all across the earth being reborn. I can't wait to recruit some more followers who will someday stand with me singing, "I am free" in front of our Heavenly Father. what a joyous site that will be!
