The Whole PointSample

Cage. What do you think of when you hear that word? When I think about it, I think of something being stuck in a small space. Something being limited.

Sometimes it might be easy to think of faith like a cage, too. We think that, sometimes, faith is something that holds us back. We might think that we have to do, or say, or be a certain thing in order to do this whole faith thing the right way!

But here’s the thing: faith does not put us in a cage. It actually sets us free! Because it’s through faith, through trusting in Jesus and believing that He died on the cross for us, that we can be free from all our sin, shame, and guilt. We can experience the freedom and the life that God has for us! When we begin to understand this and choose to believe this, we can live knowing we have freedom to know God loves us and will never leave us, no matter what.

So today, spend a few minutes thanking God for loving you no matter what and asking God to help you see that faith is something that can set you free.
