This time together, the Lord is wanting me to share the message of His liberty. His freedom is not based on our merits. If it were, Christ would have given up on the human race a long time ago. He has left an example of how to live through the Son, and has enabled us to remain in Him through the Spirit (John 15:10, Psalm 128:1).
That reverence of God leads to following His direction and will for life. We find out that He has always desired to carry on an intimate relationship with us, just like in a healthy marriage. There is the Husband who is pursuing the bride, the Church, and the Church is there living in Christ's calling. Let us, as the Church, not grow weary in trusting that our King is coming for us, Galatians 6:9.
Romans 8:1-2 gives us hope to follow Him until His return. We will find ourselves not following the old man, but alive to Christ's calling. Like Britt Nicole's "All This Time" sings about, we will look back and see how God has led us every step of the way. His attribute of faithfulness to us will never change.
Let us walk in the freedom of knowing we are not working for our salvation, but are living in His love. Our love for the Father stems from His demonstrating how precious we are. Let us spend our days evaluating the gifts the Savior has blessed us with. We need to open up our eyes to the fact that we all have something to share with this hurting world (Matthew 25:14-30). Let us not hide our lights, Matthew 5:15. God bless each one of you as you follow God this week!
