Freedom

What exactly is freedom? Can you be legitimately free? Does gravity somehow suppress us because it holds us to this earth or is it working for our benefit? I would suggest to you that freedom is what holds us back or what keeps us from destroying ourselves. Freedom isn’t living an independent life free from negative influence; freedom isn’t individualism or self autonomy, freedom is coming to the understanding that we can’t be free outside of God. And even then we are held in His perfection and under his supervision. It is the striving to be free that causes us to be bound. Freedom comes from resting in the promises of God. It is when we try to attain freedom through our own efforts that we become enslaved to a false reality. Take this time to talk to God. Ask him if you have been living in a false freedom. If so, begin to give back to Him “your rights” and ask Him to lead you into true freedom.
