"Are you a prisoner?"

Click here to listen to Dr. Joey tell his story!

My wife boards horses for people who enjoy coming out and riding. Recently she received some new horses to board that came from South Dakota.

The farm where they stayed before coming to us was set up differently. The horses were in much smaller areas.
One of the horses is especially large and really didn’t enjoy the small space he was in previously. The interesting thing to me has been to watch him gently begin to explore our larger pasture. At first, he stood basically in one spot all day. In his mind, he was still enclosed in a very small space even though he has all of the pasture to enjoy. So he didn’t move. Only gradually did his mental picture of where he could spend the day expand to include all the pasture. He was still a prisoner in his mind.

What mental prison do you choose to stay in? Are you trapping yourself in a small area of life when you could enjoy much more room and freedom? Today, ask God to set you free from your mental prison so you can listen to life and make a life, not just a living.
