True Freedom

true freedom

 It is absolutely clear
that God has called you to a free life.
Just make sure that you don’t use this freedom
as an excuse to do whatever you want
to do and destroy your freedom.
Rather, use your freedom
to serve one another in love;
that’s how freedom grows.
For everything we know about God’s Word
is summed up in a single sentence:
Love others as you love yourself.
That’s an act of true freedom.
If you bite and ravage each other,
watch out—
in no time at all
you will be annihilating each other,
and where will your precious freedom be then?
Galatians 5:13-15, MSG

  1. i love the sentence “love others as you love yourself.” I often wish this had been taught…really taught instead of just talked about. the message received was to always put others first, never yourself…the message gets scewed doesn’t it.

    I am learning the balance

  2. This was such a fresh reminder that our freedom came from love and is to flow through love. Such love serves and gives through Him. Thank you.

  3. Love this—I keep hitting this all over the scripture lately…love one another as you love yourselves/treat others as you want to be treated….the “royal law” according to James….
    God help us truly show this to others—I don’t even like it when my husband says my dish-washing technique needs help….so I should be so careful before I speak a word that isn’t uplifting to my brothers…much less start finger pointing or shouting at them or protesting them, etc…
    Love to you! Keep Shining Bright!
