Freedom in Christ
Scripture
“Now the Lord is that Spirit: and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty.”
— 2 Corinthians 3:17 (KJV)
Reflection
Freedom is the natural air of the Christian life. 2 Corinthians 3:17 reminds us, "Now the Lord is that Spirit: and…" The Spirit does not bind; He liberates. He frees us to love God, to love others, to be honest, to forgive, to forgive again. Today, ask the Spirit to free you from one thing — a fear, a resentment, a habit of mind — and trust Him to do it.
Prayer
Holy Spirit, lead me into deeper freedom today — freedom to love, to forgive, to rejoice. Amen.
Thought for the Day
