FREEDOM

... and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom.  -- 2 Corinthians 3:17

Jesus said, "You will know the truth, and the truth will set you free," (John 8:32). He also said, "I am the truth, (John 14:6).

Bottom line: Where Jesus is, freedom is. When we walk with Christ, we live in freedom.

The opposite is also true: when we turn and walk away - when we walk alone; when we walk in our own power and wisdom - we inevitably live in bondage. We may or may not be aware of the chains that bind. But that does not make them any less real.

But the good news is better than the bad. (And despite what we see on TV and the internet, the Good News ALWAYS overpowers and outshines the bad!)

And the good news is:

God is a God of freedom!

Our freedom was purchased through Christ's sacrifice. And we experience his freedom when we live in the light of his presence.

God, you are my freedom.

For now...
