Release: Moving from Bondage to Freedom
Ashley Reid
Introduction
Liberation and freedom work hand in hand. God made creation to choose the freedom of life, to be the embodiment of a divine communal and individual love. However we know that injustice impacts our ability to see the light of liberation in the midst of heavy darkness. The journey towards liberation is one that requires both an internal and external journey, a journey our ancestors understood. It’s a journey of freeing yourself from the mental, spiritual and emotional bondage we find ourselves in, so that we can find the strength and courage to embody it in our physical state regardless of what society believes. In order to gain freedom and liberation, we must release the false narratives of who we are through the art of truth-telling and healing. This devotional will share scriptures, quotes, and stories to help us to release the stuff holding us back, seen and unseen, so that we might see our divine identities and choose to live as liberated beings like we were created. The first three days we’ll explore what we need to release so we won’t become stuck in an internal bondage, and the last four days will explore how we can find relief and release as healthy alternatives. We must constantly practice releasing darkness so that we might choose freedom from the liberation of light and love.
