Freedom
Galatians 5:1 says, “It is for freedom that Christ has set us free. Stand firm, then, and do not let yourselves be burdened again by a yoke of slavery.
A friend of mine is working at a YL camp this summer and gets the privilege to hear gifted men and women everyday share about following Christ. She shared some thoughts recently that have stuck with me…
” Jim Branch, our speaker for Session 1 talked about our identity and how it isn’t achieved by what we do, but rather bestowed upon us. He talked about freedom being found in truth and talked about how if we aren’t feeling free, then we are believing a lie. This along with trust has been my prayer this summer. That I would trust God, believe and live out the freedom that is in Christ, and that I would stop trying to perform and live as who God has made me to be.”
What an amazing goal: to live as who God has made us to be rather than who the world says we should be. It’s my hope that today I (and you) can live out of the confidence of being a beloved child of the King… we are free to live, love and laugh a whole lot at how much we fall short!
