A taste of true freedom
'Freedom is not found in the choices we make. It's found in the consequences of the choices'
Today's worship conference was truly surprising. I was reminded of the little incident that truly changed one man's life. It was in a humble setting: bitter winter cold, small cottage. A small group of people huddled around an oil barrel converted into a mini furnace. Praising God with just a tattered bible and the words along the lines of 'ye thou be saved'. Those words hit home on one person. His name is Charles Spurgeon.
It doesn't take a lot to worship God. Yet it takes a lot to tear our eyes away from the distractions that keep us from worshipping God. Thank God that His Sovereignty and purpose will reign.
So true freedom is found or rather tasted in the consequences of your choices. Often it's choices that coincides with God's will. I prayed for someone to put off the old self and embrace the new one in which we were given in Christ. It was liberating even for myself. Let's believe in the freedom Christ won for us and stay free!
