I’ve been going through a powerful study by Beth Moore in my quiet time called Breaking Free.   On page 124, she wrote something I love:

I want to share something about women who live free that I hope will be encouraging.  Most of them have experienced a serious stronghold or hindrance they have fought to overcome.

How do I know? Because every person I’ve met who really seems liberated to love, enjoy, and obey God as a lifestyle has been on the battlefield.  They usually appreciate and apply victory more readily because they’ve experienced the misery of defeat first hand.

I rarely meet a person who has come to trust God fully without painfully confronting the fact that she can’t trust herself.  Freedom Never Comes Easy.”  p 124, Beth Moore.

This has been a great study for me, and I’m so excited, as I was writing this, I found Beth’s blog.
