 Assuredly, I will set you free and care for you. Assuredly, I will intercede for you. Jeremiah 15:11

 I grew up in a stronghold of fear. I longed to find a safe place to hide. I desperately wanted someone to take care of me. But from the realm of my own painful experience, let me alert you to a toxic emotional cocktail: a relationship made up of someone who has an unhealthy need to be taken care of, and someone who has an unhealthy need to caretake. This relationship will end up extorting God-given liberties and will prove fraudulent. Any place we have to hide is not safe. In Christ, we find the freedom to be safely exposed! If only we could understand that God's authority does not imprison us. It sets us free!
