What if your favorite clothing store decided to simply give everything away for free to anybody who chose to go to the store that day? Let’s say you went to this store and didn’t know they were giving things away for free? What if they told you and you denied taking any clothes because it seemed too good to be true? “The day before you guys weren’t giving away your clothes for free, so this must be a lie! You guys are probably trying to get me arrested for stealing!” You argue tirelessly with the manager and all the employees that this cannot be true! 

Now what if our freedom was like that? Being Fourth of July week, this is perfectly fitting! There were and are people fighting for our freedom every day and have even died for the freedom we have currently in America! But what if we decided to believe this wasn’t true even though it is the reality of our country? Sound ridiculous right?! But we do it all the time in our lives if we’re not careful.

Sometimes everything around us tells us we are okay except ourselves. What if the biggest war you are facing today is inside of you. Everybody around you may see the lies you area believing, except yourself. I lived like this for years. I struggled with intense anxiety, but never listened to the advice of those around me. What I believed about myself was totally irrational, but it took over my mind. No matter what people said, what I felt seemed more true. It wasn’t until I believed the truth of who I already was that I become truly free!

 What lies do you believe about yourself today? Do you know you are worth so much and are dearly loved? Sometimes we need to believe and declare truths about ourselves no matter what we feel about ourselves! What if your freedom already exists, and ALL you need to do is believe it?
