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. (Galatians 5:13 NLT)
REFLECTION
When I intentionally keep my heart open to our caring Creator – prioritising prayer and pondering His Word with a willingness to do things His way with Him – I find that I enter into an amazing and, at times, arduous adventure story, where the core themes are freedom and love. And I discover unexpected beauty and blessings in unexpected moments, with unexpected people and unexpected results, which blend into, beautify and bless the mix of my everyday commitments and responsibilities. I find that my heart and life expands as I practise a new rhythm of grace, and dance through moments with Him. I find moments are infused with good (albeit not always easy) things, and with it more internal freedom, more compassion and a deeper desire to help others, in cooperation with our merciful and marvellous Maker.
PRAYER POEM: Freedom
Loving Lord ~ You are forever faithful, trustworthy and true. Thank You that I can be real about how I feel and that You help me deal with whatever You reveal. My heart is Yours and sings: Thank You for the freedom Your love brings.
