Freedom

Freedom doesn't mean I get to do what I want.

Rather, freedom is being enabled by God's transforming Spirit to do what I couldn't do of my own accord:

Loving my neighbor...

Forgiving those who have hurt me...

Trusting God with my life...

Freedom is being liberated from actions borne out of my own fears and insecurities.

Freedom is dying to how I would live life left to my own devices so that I can be resurrected into life as Christ himself would live it.

Freedom is abandoning my life and taking up the life of Christ.

Nothing to hide...

Nothing to lose...

Nothing to prove.
