We are FREE!

But, we have been imprisoned so long that we don’t know what FREEDOM is, or we have fears of what we might do if we were truly free. The grip that our fears have on us is amazing and so much beyond consciousness that we’re unaware.

We’re FREE to FOLLOW GOD! Let’s get on with it.

I’m reminded of the story that is reportedly true about Abraham Lincoln. He was moved by the way that slaves were treated. One day he attended a slave market and he was moved to purchase a frail looking woman. She still had a glimmer of hope in her eyes; however, you could tell she was greatly beaten down.

After putting up the money to buy her, they were walking away when Abraham said to the “property” he had bought, “You are FREE“. She replied,”does that mean that I am free to SAY anything I want”?. Abe nodded affirmatively.

“Does that mean I am FREE to DO anything I want to do”, she asked. Once more Abe said yes.

“Does that mean I am FREE to BE anything I want to be,” she queried? Another yes!

Finally, she asked, “Does that mean I am FREE to GO anywhere I want to go as well”? For the fourth time Abe replied in the affirmative.

“Then I choose to GO WITH YOU,” she said.

Isn’t that what God is offering us, and shouldn’t we gladly GO with Him, and make His journey our journey?”
