Galatians 5:1

Posted on by Just broken

1 It is for freedom Christ has set us free; stand firm then, and do not let yourself be burdened again by a yoke of slavery.

To many, the boundaries of Christianity seem like a yoke of slavery, yet to those who know, it is a yoke of freedom, perfection, and peace. Any good parent knows the painful, long lasting consequences of raising your children without boundaries. We are no different as God’s children.
We are hardwired by God to know when we do wrong; it’s that guilty feeling, the shame, that comes with living for our wants, our fleshly desires. Live a life of freedom, one that intentionally conforms to God’s will. There is great freedom in choosing rightly.
Remember that it is Christ’s grace that saves us, not following the law. Know that the boundaries are for our own safety.  Just as we tell (or will tell, or did tell 😊) our children “no” for their own protection, so God tells us.
I think it’s cool that He even cares, much less cares like He does.

I Love The Father, Son and Holy Spirit and the blessings He has poured into my life. I pray that I live a life that glorifies Him in all I do, but I fail every day, many, many, many times. I have come here through brokenness, a trail of pain and broken promises that I've created through my self centeredness, self will and arrogance. For those I've hurt, please forgive me for what I did. Those things that I remember I am truly sorry I did them. I wish I could undo them. I can't. I use these lessons as motivation to be a builder, to take those experiences and hopefully keep someone else out of their own similar experiences. I love my wife, my children, my family, my friends, my strangers, and those the world would like to dismiss as an unfortunate error messing up worldly perfection. I get frustrated with all of the above too, for I am broken, not like God. Lord, give me your wisdom, your patience, and knowledge of your will for me and the strength to carry that out in all I do. I believe we have work to do while we are here and need to be actively engaged in allowing God to work through us. A Christian is someone who does what The Father, Son and Holy Spirit calls them to do, a builder not a taker, a conduit not a pinnacle, humble and serving. Micah 6:8 Matthew 25:31-46
