#MyriadPrayer - Freedom

I woke up this morning feeling free.  I know it is the Fourth of July and it is all about America's freedom, but that's not what I meant.  I woke up this morning feeling freer, lighter.  The quote "Free Indeed" kept floating around my mind.  So I turned to John 8:31-36:

³¹ To the Jews who had believed him, Jesus said, “If you hold to my teaching, you are really my disciples. ³² Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.”
³³ They answered him, “We are Abraham’s descendants and have never been slaves of anyone. How can you say that we shall be set free?”
³⁴ Jesus replied, “Very truly I tell you, everyone who sins is a slave to sin. ³⁵ Now a slave has no permanent place in the family, but a son belongs to it forever. ³⁶ So if the Son sets you free,you will be free indeed.

Everyday, I have to wake up and remind myself of this freedom.. this freedom in Christ.  With that freedom comes responsibility and a world of possibility.  So today, I am free indeed!

"Father, thank You for freedom that can only be found in You.  Father, thank for the freedom to live, love, laugh, worship.  Thank You for the gift of Your son.  That gift frees me from a life of sin.  Father, I love You and thank You.  Amen.  Amen."
