Free - Today's Daily Word

I am free to be me.

Before a flower can blossom in the sunlight, it must first grow through dark soil. Before a butterfly can dance through the air, it must first evolve within a dark cocoon.

If it seems that I am being held back from achieving some goal, I realize that this is an opportunity of growth for me. Temporarily in a dark, seemingly restrictive space in my life, I pray my way into the light of a new day.

Like the flower and the butterfly, I, too, emerge strong and free. Having left behind any habit or belief that could limit or restrict me, I have been transformed. I enjoy the wonderful exhilaration of being the new me. I understand that I have freedom from being who I was in the past and the freedom to be who I am now.

"Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your minds, so that you may discern what is the will of God."--Romans 12:2
