For you have been called to live in freedom, my brothers and sisters. But don't use your freedom to satisfy your sinful nature. Instead, use your freedom to serve one another in love.
~ Galatians 5:13, NLT
Today I was reading this and trying to figure out what I was using my freedom for. Honestly, I
cannot give an answer. I know that I do alot for others, but then again, is it enough? I know that I am sinful so no matter what I do, I am going to fall. But
is that an excuse? It would be so nice if God would tell us specifically what we need to work on for the day so that we could actually do it. I struggle with
my salvation quite often. Not my faith. I know that God is God and that is it. End of story, but at the same time, that same God can do whatever he wants. He
can harden our hearts. He can soften our hearts. He can accept us. He can deny us. He does love us and wants us, but somebody has to take the fall. I mean look
at Pharoh. How many times did God harden his heart? Pharoh had no choice. Sometimes I wonder if God does that to me. I hope not. I love God and I know Christ
died for me and I am truly sorry for all of the wrong I have done. All of the hurt I have caused, and all of the ugliness in my life. I truly want to change
it. I just want to make sure I do it the right way.
