A while ago a friend of mine gave me a word:
"The door stands open..."
And while the whole thing was simple and powerful, I didn't quite get the full picture.
"The door stands open, I see you running. Take my hand, I'll lead you through."
What He sees is more than I could ever see... Yet, I'm seeing more now standing here with a greater view.
Tonight I heard the story of an eagle, a great, majestic bird, ruler of the skies; it had been locked up for ten years. The owners decided to free it after those ten years, but when they opened the door it didn't know what to do. It was locked in the invisible cage created by his mind. He would move no further than the only place he knew. But when another eagle flew by and called out the caged bird became a free bird. It took the realization from truth to get that bird out of the cage ( from "Brave Worship" by Jonathan David Helser).
Harriet Tubman once said that she could've freed more slaves if they only realized they were slaves.
It takes an awareness of who you truly are to walk out in the full freedom that you have been given.
You need to know that the truth is you are a child of God and the enemy wants you to believe everything contradictory to that.
We have a Father that created us because He wanted children... He delights in you. He has a plan and a purpose for you.
I am discovering more of my purpose. I know one thing... I will let out a freedom cry, sing the song of truth that the captives are yearning to hear. I am learning to step out of that mental cage and I am going to stop crawling back in it... Cause I am no longer a slave to fear. I am going to believe I am who God says I am and be bold, strong and courageous.
You are beautiful, fearfully and wonderfully made. You are His beloved child, delighted in. I sing a song of freedom, of His love... A song that has always been sung. He placed the planets in motion, set the stars in the sky... He came to Earth as a babe, thought of you and I. He loves you. You were worth it. He believes in you and you are not a slave to fear! You belong to Him!
