7 Ways to Personal Freedom & Spiritual Health

3. Choose

I call heaven and earth to record this day against you, that I have set before you; life and death, blessing and cursing: therefore choose life; that you and your children may live.

Deuteronomy 30:19

You've narrowed it down. You've used discernment and you hear the one pure voice gently urging you toward the right choice. Own it. Make a conscious choice that the one thing that enslaves you will be the one thing to eliminate completely from your life

"Daily, moment by moment, life is a sequence of choices. We choose to act or not, to react or not. What we believe, how we feel, boredom, passion, and kindness don't merely happen to us, they are all choices we make." ~Omer: A Counting

6. Courage

how to forgive and forget

And Moses, afraid, pleaded, Please, O Lord I have never been a man of words... I am slow of speech and slow of tongue. And God simply said, Who gives man speech? What makes him dumb or deaf, seeing or blind? Is it not I, the Lord?

Exodus 4:10-11

It takes courage to face your darker side, and faith to do something about it. It's a natural progression to go from the decision to eliminate what enslaves you, to arrive at the point where you're actually ready to do something about it. God is with you along the way. You can't fail. Be strong, be brave, have courage.

"Such is the ironic fact of human nature: we protect our deficiencies and hide our inadequacies. But perhaps it should be the opposite. Perhaps we should protect our gifts, cherishing the good within us and reveal our doubts, asking for help and support. That would take courage." ~Omer: A Counting
