Galatians 5:13 (NLT) For you have been called to live
in freedom, my brothers and sisters. But don’t use your freedom to satisfy your
sinful nature. Instead, use your freedom to serve one another in love.
God’s
design and purpose is for us to live in freedom. This means freedom from fear,
worry and anxiety; freedom from compulsive and addictive behaviour. It means
freedom from selfishness and false expectations either our own or those of others.
It means living a life free of control –we choose not to be master of our own
lives or allow anyone else such control. Instead we habitually choose to submit
our will to God. We listen attentively to the voice of the Holy Spirit and
choose to obey believing God wants us to fly.
This freedom is not about being subject to our feelings but about
choosing to trust God and serve others in love. Let us use our freedom to serve
wholeheartedly.
Father
help us to live in increasing degrees of freedom, serving others with joy.
