You are really and truly and completely free. There is no kicker. There is no if, and, or but. You are free. You can do it right or wrong. You can obey or disobey. You can run from Christ or run to Christ. You can choose to become faithful… or unfaithful. You can cry, cuss, and spit, or laugh, sing, and dance… You’re free… really free.

Too simple for me! 🙂
lol, yeah i really struggle when thinking about God’s Grace and the freedom that it should bring. But as i look around and hear Christians held captive by condemnation, lies and damaging themselves with unforgiveness, it really breaks my heart to see Joy being sucked out of peoples lives.
I just pray that the truth will set them free and there is no more condemnation in Christ. It’s only us who remember the sins which have already been forgiven, and we really find it hard to think that God has forgotten them and wants us to choose Joy. 🙂
I think i’m still making it too simple, lol. I like it child like as i don’t like to complicate things. 😀
Thanks so much for taking time to read and comment, it’s great to see you here! 😀
Oh yes. He gave me a flash recently: bendy God O’clock time. Each moment was perfect. Everything so simple. So “in its place.” All the angst we twist and turn – not even there. With hindsight and memory – very close to the “child like” simplicity we talk so much about. Experiential relationship! Love it!!
reminds me of the Newsboys’ song- I am Free http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_MbcYyOsF50
Amen, thanks Julie! I’ve never heard this song before, so thanks again for posting! 🙂
