The problem with freedom is most times when we get free we
tend to abuse it and walk right back into captivity. Can we now say freedom is
not good? Nope its great to be free its what we need, however we need to understand
that it does not stop at being free we need to learn how to walk in our
freedom.
When I say walking
with a limp, I do not mean limping in the physical sense, I mean to tread
carefully, one thing we need to know about our weakness is it will always be
there, the whole point of the series is to teach you to starve your weakness,
to help you stop feeding it. That you haven’t fallen into the addiction in a
while doesn’t make you super human, the moment you get into a place where it
can be fed you’re definatley going to fall back. My papa once told me “a wise
man is one who guards against his weakness” walking with a limp involves you
guardin against your weakness.
Babies fall a
lot, I think for every three steps a baby takes there is a fall ahead, but as we
grow falling becomes less frequent, and when we become adults its very rare,
and when adults fall the impact is usually more. The last time I fell I felt
like literally everything in my body were broken because its been a while. So
it is with addiction a fall after a long time is usually more devastating and
most time its because we are sure we are free so there is no need to arm
ourselves so much and we think we can return to our previous lifestyle just
without the addiction, we need to understand that our previous lifestyle had to
have fuelled it. And as such understand that we cannot go back to our previous
lifestyle and not get back to our addiction. Walking with a limp is not moving
haphazardly. Its understanding our weakness and guarding ourselves against a fall
by our actions and inactions.
