For you have been called to live in freedom, my brothers and sisters.  But don't use your freedom to satisfy your sinful nature. Instead, use your freedom to serve one another in love. Galatians 5:13 NLT

Freedom is wonderful and our nation talks about it a lot. But don't use your freedom to satisfy your sinful nature.  Question -  where is the freedom in sexual immorality; where is the freedom in cursing or harsh words; where is the freedom in un-forgiveness; where is the freedom in anger; where is the freedom in drunkenness; where is the freedom in divorce; where is the freedom in a critical attitude; where is the freedom in stress?  In these things there is no love and there is surely no freedom.  Well, it is while in this condition that we may experience the amazing grace of God that is in Jesus the Christ.  Through God’s grace we are given a life that encourages, blesses and finds expressions of kindness, goodness and faithfulness. Instead, use your freedom to serve one another in love.  Today may you actually experience the freedom of his grace in how you feel and think.  No one will be upset because of your expressions of kindness and love for them.  Your family, your work and your community will never be the same when you live in the freedom of his grace. Do not use your freedom to satisfy your sinful nature.  Enjoy!
