Release and Be Free!
“Release and be Free!!!”
*For most of my life I felt like I needed to control everything around me.
Truth is, all I really wanted was to be free.
I just didn’t quite know how yet, I was still blind and could not see.
*I was convinced that by being in control, I could decide my life’s course.
But we know that’s not how life works,
What I really needed was to plug into the source.
*Still, because of the trauma I had been through, I felt I had to keep myself safe.
Not realizing at the time, Jesus was my safe space.
What I needed was to remove the fear and take on peace in its place.
*I needed to learn to let go and release all my fears to God, to lay them at his feet
To release what I thought was control, so that I could have peace.
What amazing freedom I could have, once I was able to release!
*My journey to freedom I had to fight for.
But God said for you I have so much in store.
Areas in my life that were broken God said, I will restore!
*There will be moments where the enemy will try and tell you you’re not free.
That’s when you remind him of what God sees.
God says you are free and not bound and that is your decree.
*You see the enemys desire is to keep you bound and feeling defeat.
But we know the devil is under our feet.
With Jesus, our freedom we can reach.
*Your freedom is a choice you must make.
You must choose to release, choose to be free, choose that your freedom you will take!
*True freedom comes when you are able to let go.
Let go of all of your burdens and give God control.
Allow God in to heal you and make you whole.
*So choose this day to trust God and find your peace.
To let go, and let God, and let your weights be released.
Your freedom is waiting, all you have to do is lift up your hands and receive.

Christina, amazing poem!! Your words vividly describe the weight-off-your-chest feeling of freedom. I am so glad you have worked your way around the ‘controlling’ impulses you had and allowed yourself to be free. Great work!!
