We all want freedom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Mostly Freedom From [fill in your latest list of maladies of your days here.]<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Jesus promises us freedom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
But it\u2019s not really Freedom From.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
God saves us very rarely from our trials. Usually it\u2019s in our trials.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Jesus gives us Freedom For.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Forgiving the greatest horror of life, our own sins (nope it only seems that it\u2019s others\u2019 sins.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
With that, though we still are captive to sin, slaves if you want to call it that, we are given the gifts to live life as God intended us to live it; free for everything good and worthwhile.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Jesus forgives us our sins and frees us for dancing, reading, skiing, singing, travelling, smiling, laughing, and dreaming.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Jesus forgives us our sins and frees us to have wide horizons, open hearts, engaged minds, and active hands.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Jesus forgives us our sins and frees us to care for creation, and to compassionately and passionately love, even our enemies; and to be loved, for who we are, just as we are.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
That\u2019s just a little something to keep our hearts thumping through the worst life throughs at us.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
