Of all the
wonderful gifts that God gives us one of the greatest is freedom. As
much as we may deny it we are free in this life. We are free in what
we think, free in what we feel, free in what we say, and free in what we
do. Yes, life may give us some very difficult circumstances at
times, but we are still free in how we choose to react to them.
Many people in this
life deny their freedom. They sit back in their misery and blame it
on their parents, or their childhood, or their country, or their health,
or their financial problems. They never once stand up and take responsibility for their own lives and their
own happiness.
The truth is God
gives us the power to choose love and joy in our lives no matter what
happens to us. Whether we are wealthy or poor we are still free to
choose joy. Whether we had great parents or terrible ones we are
still free to choose love. Whether our childhoods were good or
miserable we are still free to choose happiness. Whether our health
is robust or rotten we are still free to choose fulfillment. Whether
our country is a democracy or a tyranny we are still free to choose peace
and delight within our own hearts and souls. No one has ever been or
will ever be strong enough to take our freedom away from us.

Don't deny your
freedom then. Rejoice in it, cherish it, and use it every day of
your life. Remember, you are free to create the type of life you have
always wanted. The choice is up to you. May you fill your life
with kindness, joy, sunshine, delight, peace, happiness, laughter, love,
and every good thing. May you live freely, choose wisely, and share
generously all the wonders of your life. May you use the freedom
that you have been blessed with to make your own life a blessing to
yourself and to the world.
