You might be able to say, I've escaped drugs, I've escaped bad relationships, I've escaped drinking. You could probably name many things God has brought you out of. But have you escaped yourself? Have you escaped the heart that does not want to fight for somebody else?
It's possible to be thankful for everything that God has done for us and still spend our lives focused mainly on our own needs. The Christian life is not about living for ourselves. It's about living for the sake of somebody else.
Do not spend your life only celebrating what you have escaped. Ask God today to take you beyond yourself and begin using the freedom that He's given you to help somebody else find freedom too. That's what we teach at our Bible school at Summit International School of Ministry. The true Christian strength and power is found in living for the benefit of others.
It's time to pray.
