Wondering what this talk about freedom is all about? Amidst the shouts, you still feel enslaved. Deep down in your heart, you can feel those things that hold you hostage: the economy, the cares of life, family responsibilities, life expectations, desires not met, inability to follow your dreams – too many of them to mention.

At work, you feel like a porn. They push you here and there, all for the sake of the monthly stipend. You do not have a say of your own. All they care is for you to execute it, without asking questions. Talking about starting something on your own; the challenges ahead appears colossal.
Even at home, you rarely decide on your own. There is always someone to consider. You have to sacrifice for the sake of the family. If not, you are seen as uncaring, disobedient.

You cannot even contribute to the changing of the fortune of the nation. In sincerity, you are ready to contribute the little you can, but they don’t want you. They feel you are not part of the system. Yet, their wrong decisions still affects everyone. All you are left with is to talk. Talk that changes little.

In the larger world, you sit and watch how some powerful nations decides the fate of others. You wonder in amazement what you can do to change the tide. Nothing. You are left to sit down and watch and swallow the brunt of their manipulation. You feel helpless.

How can your freedom be in the hand of another man? Freedom should be personal and not a group thing. Even if a hero emerges to bring the desired change, we soon find ourselves entangled with another burden.

Total freedom is a personal thing. In Christ, freedom is privatized. He has given it out. It is now left for you to take it. It is in your hand, if you want to be free. Remember, the good things of life are free!
