Every person at some point in life’s journey needs to be
liberated. That’s why Jesus came into the world. Gloria Steinem, a prominent
leader of the women’s liberation movement, decided to get married after years
of struggle and isolation. It’s interesting how concepts about bondage and
liberation change with the passage of time.
Courage in the face of obvious change helps
diminish outdated opinions and paradigms while opening gateways to freedom and
a new life. Lack of courage is essentially linked to insecurity, embarrassment
and shame. Courage, however, is a bridge to liberation, a more fulfilled life
and open doors for new beginnings.
Liberation
may come in the form of renouncing a lifestyle that predisposes you to bondage.
Jesus said, “Man cannot serve God and money,” and “You must be in the world but
not of the world.” Liberation comes by activating courage to commit your life to
what you know to be God’s way for you. It’s the bridge to inner peace.
