True freedom is realizing that apart from Christ,I am not free. (Cynthia Heald)

God is in the business of freedom and newness, and it is when I acknowledge my past and confess my sin that I can begin to experience his Liberty. God gives new lives for old.(Cynthia Heald)

Here is a beautiful poem by Gladis and Gordon DePree taken from Women's Devotional Bible 2.

I Need Some Help

God,
I need some outside help tonight.
I want so much to be free
But I don't feel free.

I know it all in my head
that your life is living in me,
that my life is a miracle.
But in my heart
It seems as if life is pressing in on me
And squeezing me.
Until I feel empty and limp.

Free...
What can that word mean
When my life belongs to so many other people;
When I get squeezed between the generation gap,
And the tax bill,
And I want to walk out the door and
keep on walking and never stop...
Then what does it mean to be free?
God,
I need some help outside myself tonight.
