Greetings Prayer Warriors,
Most of us would define freedom as the ability to do
anything we want. It seems to be not
only an American ideal but a human longing….to be completely free. Images
quickly come to mind of what freedom looks like. But then I read a quote from Blessed John Paul
II that put it into a perspective I hadn’t considered. Freedom isn’t having unlimited choices, but
rather a choice between 2 things.
“Freedom is a decision
about oneself and a setting of one’s own life for or against the Good, for or
against the Truth, and ultimately for or against God.”
Reread and meditate on those words for a while.
Hear Him calling you.
"Do
you love me?" John
21:17
Once we reconcile ourselves to God, we have complete
freedom, because now our life has meaning, purpose, and direction. We know that we have been made to know, love,
and serve the Lord. Like a flower ready to bloom, reaching for the sun, we open
ourselves to His radiant love.
Pray for members of your family, especially those who
consider themselves free yet have shackled themselves to false idols (anything that
moves them away from God, not toward Him).
May they one day find true freedom in Love Himself.
Pray that Love will set them free.
Peace, Joy, and Love,
Janet
Set a captive free. Pass it on.
