Prisoners function, but they are not free. We too often learn to function in dysfunction - physical or emotional - becoming so accustomed to bondage that we settle with the condition.
We learn to live with it.
It becomes comfortable.
It becomes normal.
You are meant for so much more than going through the motions of life. It's time to quit settling! It's time to stop seeing yourself through the lens of your past! It's time to aspire beyond limits others have led you to believe that you have.
Quit hiding the chains. Quit bringing color to them through excuses as to why it's okay to remain bound. A finely decorated prison cell is still a prison cell.
It's time to kick off the shackles and reposition. Your environment, your choice of entertainment, or the people you surround yourself with may have to change in order to blossom into all that God has created you to be.
"The Spirit of the Lord [is] upon Me, because He has anointed Me [the Anointed One, the Messiah] to preach the good news (the Gospel) to the poor; He has sent Me to announce release to the captives and recovery of sight to the blind, to send forth as delivered those who are oppressed [who are downtrodden, bruised, crushed, and broken down by calamity]." Luke 4:18
