Live as free people, but do not use your freedom as an excuse to do evil. Live as servants of God.
1 Peter 2:16
We love our freedom! We love being free! But what do we use our freedoms to do? We have Freedom of Speech, but how do we use that freedom to build up or tear down? We have Freedom of Press, but do we use that freedom to print truth or our version of the "truth"?
We have so many freedoms that are afforded to us and two questions must be asked:
1. Do we truly appreciate the freedoms we have?
2. How are we using our freedoms to help others?
Some have taken their freedoms and have used them for their own selfish purposes, we see this every single day. But those who truly appreciate their freedoms want to use them to help others. You see, we have the Freedom to reach out to others in need. We have the Freedom to speak encouragement to others who need to hear it. We have the Freedom to pray for others, and with them if they wish. We have the Freedom to worship. We have the Freedom to make someone else's life a little better. You have the Freedom to read this and let it sink in or ignore it.
How are you enjoying your Freedoms?
