True Freedom

True freedom is not the ability to do wrong. True freedom is the strength to do the right thing in the face of temptation.

We all face inner demons. I may not understand addiction to drugs or alcohol, but I know what it's like to wake up in the middle of the night because there's an open bag of chips in the house. I know what it's like to lie awake while arguing a loosing battle with myself. I know the shame and self condemnation of getting out of bed at two in the morning to finish a bag of chips, alone in a darkened kitchen. I may not struggle with your temptation, but I understand the despair of a loosing battle.  

I don't know your battle, but I want to encourage you. I want to encourage you to take control of your situation. I want to encourage to you that change is possible. I want to encourage you to find your freedom.
