Description

God has called us to walk in freedom, but the enemy would love for us to believe that surrendering to God and freedom cannot possibly go hand in hand. I don’t obey God’s Word to earn His love, but rather, because He is worthy, I love Him, and I have found that true freedom comes from surrendering to Him.
