WHAT IS FREEDOM?
September 30, 2021

Prayer: Thank You, Lord, for showing us how to love others and lay down our lives for them. Amen

Scripture: For you have been called to live in freedom — not freedom to satisfy your sinful nature, but freedom to serve one another in love. Galatians 5:13 NLT

What is “freedom?” We make much about it and insist upon having it but then are often denied what we think it might be for us. Perhaps the freedom that we desire deep down is not the same as that which we seek through our self-serving actions. Perhaps freedom really comes when we release our grasp and claim on things we think should belong to us personally. God’s word suggests that true freedom comes when we allow God to break the chain that has bound us to self all these years. It clarifies for us that the more we devote ourselves to obeying God by caring for others, then the more freedom we find and enjoy! This is a paradox. But it is true. God will bless you most today when you release your claims and expectations for it.
