It's amazing... the feeling you get when you're actually able to put words to what's really in your heart is... amazing. The "Freedom of Expression" is truly divine liberation manifested in a very natural way.
Judeo-Christian faith has a major theme throughout it's history that describes the Power of Words. From the very beginning of time Spoken Words had the power to "create", to deliver knowledge, to define lives, to encourage, to denegrate, to demonstrate love... even to move mountains. And yes... the Word had the power to LIBERATE.
Who the Son sets free is truly free indeed!!!!!!!
I am free. I'm at peace. And... I'm alive... And it's an absolutely Amazing experience to be able to walk in such liberty. I consider often those of us who live in countries where there "liberties" come with limitations. I think of those who are perspecuted for speaking things that seem absolutely casual to most American citizens. I think about those of us whose lives would be threatened by posting a blog that had even half the religious undertone of this. So, I speak on their behalf.
I also speak for those of us still in chains that are not quite as formal, or tangible. I speak on the behalf of us that are bound by doubt... guilt... shame. And I speak first to let you know that I serve a God that is able to do ANYTHING! I speak to let you know that He loves you. I speak to let you know that He will never leave you nor forsake you. I speak to let you know that He gave up a piece of Himself just to have more of you.
As a Black Believer... that is, a Christian of African-American descent, I have so MUCH to share with those of you from every race and every faith. My sincere prayer is that it's a blessing and a benefit to you or someone you know and that God is pleased.
I'll be speaking to you....
