Freedom in Christ
Scripture
“Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you… Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.”
— John 14:27 (KJV)
Reflection
Freedom is the natural air of the Christian life. John 14:27 reminds us, "Peace I leave with you, my peace…" 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
Lord Jesus, thank You for setting me free. Help me to walk today in the freedom You purchased for me. Amen.
