freedom 2021

Opening Prayer: Set us free, Lord Jesus.  Set us free indeed.  Set us free from our bondage to self.  Set us free to love and serve you.  Set us free to be your hands and feet in this world.  Amen.

Scripture: John 8:36

Journal: How do you define freedom?  Are you free?  Why or why not?

Reflection:

freedom

freedom is not

doing whatever

i want to do

freedom is

the ability to

love and serve God

without all of my shit

getting in the way

Prayer

Closing Prayer: O Lord, forgive me when I come to believe that freedom is about doing whatever I want to do.  That is not freedom at all, but merely self-consumption.  True freedom is about our ability to be the people you made us to be.  Give us that freedom this day; the freedom to give, the freedom to serve, and the freedom to love.  Amen.
