Daily Thoughts - Freedom
https://youtu.be/E0bs9ZvM8gQ
"For the grace of God has appeared, saving all and training us to reject godless ways and worldly desires and to live temperately, justly, and devoutly in this age, as we await the blessed hope, the appearance of the glory of the great God and of our savior Jesus Christ, who gave himself for us to deliver us from all lawlessness and to cleanse for himself a people as his own, eager to do what is good." Titus 2:11-14
Servant or slave, which of these two offers us freedom. In our journeys thru life we are taught the difference between the two. We become slaves to sin, we give up our freedom and are entrapped by the choices we make. Taking the wide road with seemingly easy choices and are caught, our freedom Is given up until we give it away freely to become a servant of Christ, Choosing the narrow less traveled road.
Each day these are the choices we are given. Do we become a captive of Christ serving Him freely with hope in our hearts making the right choice that serves Him or do we become a captive of the evil one with his deception of the lies. Freedom isn't free or easy, neither is life. "So should it be with you. When you have done all you have been commanded, say, 'We are unprofitable servants; we have done what we were obliged to do.'" Luke 17:10
Dear Father, the choice is ours, You give us the freedom to choose our path in life. Each path offers training, one that feeds the soul and the other that hurts the soul. Both offer training with the outcome to bring us home. Thank You for this day and the choice to make the God given decision to serve You in all that we do. I offer prayers up today for our country and the choices it will make collectively. May we not take our freedom for granted by giving it away. In Jesus name, Amen.
Mary, Our Lady of Peace, Pray for us.
St Joesph, Pray for us.
Greater is He that is in me than he that is in the world. 1 John 4:4b
