In the book "Redeeming Love" by Francine Rivers, a powerful exchange occurs where a character expresses a deep desire for freedom, stating, "I want to be free, Michael, just for once in my whole life I want to be free." This longing for liberation highlights the struggles many face when seeking autonomy and self-discovery.
Michael responds with reassurance, telling her, "You are free. You just don't know it yet." This statement serves as a poignant reminder that the path to freedom often lies within ourselves, suggesting that true emancipation comes from awareness and acceptance of one's own choices and potential.
