Galatians 5:13
You, my brothers and sisters, were called to be free. But do not use your freedom to indulge the flesh; rather, serve one another humbly in love.
Called to be free, what a strange phrase. It is a phrase we take for granted a lot of the time. OK, let’s be honest, we take it for granted all of the time. I am not sure most of us know the meaning of being free. We don’t even realize we are enslaved by things around us.
Yes, you read that correctly, we so often let ourselves become enslaved by things all of the time. As a teacher, I would often hear my students say, “That’s not fair, I don’t have a choice.” The truth is you ALWAYS have a choice. You just have to decide if the consequences of your choices are worth it. It is when we decide to give up our choice and let someone or something control our freedom that we become enslaved.
Freedom comes with great responsibility. We choose to take the time to help others. We choose to give of ourselves. We choose to use our freedom of choice to help someone else experience their freedom. Freedom is not giving because you have to do it. Freedom is choosing to do it because you want to do it. So, what is your choice today? Will you pick Freedom?
Lord, today I choose to give of myself so that others can see Your love in action. ~amen
