I think it's obvious that freedom is very important to God. From the very beginning He gave man the freedom to choose.
It is for freedom that Christ has set us free. Stand firm, then, and do not let yourselves be burdened again by a yolk of slavery. ~ Galatians 5:1
"If the Son therefore shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed." ~ Jesus Christ
(John 8:36)

People sometimes forget, I think, that freedom isn't really free...There is an obligation to maintain it. That, indeed is not easy. Thank God for the Holy Spirit and the strength to persevere and realize that this is a gift to be cherished!!! Thank you!! Cathy

ReplyDeleteEverything can be taken from a man but ... the last of the human freedoms - to choose one's attitude in any given set of circumstances, to choose one's own way.
I like this quote a lot Eileen...we all have the freedom to choose our outlook on life.
Cathy, I so agree with all you said! There's the sacrifice of so many for the freedoms we have here in our country, and the One Great Sacrifice that truly set us free from the bonds of evil.
ReplyDeleteWanda, I remember you saying this in one of your comments on another blog and it stuck with me. I love that quote, and I love that I see it being put into practice by so many people that I have met through blogging!
Love to you both,
Eileen
