Being free does not mean having your own way all the time.
But it means that you can start living a better life with Christ.
One that he made possible by rescuing you from the other.
So that you may be able to spend more time in his loving presence.
He never promise that your life would be easy to live here.
But he promise that he would never leave nor forsake us ever.
That he would always be our escape as well as our strength here.
That he died for us then risen up to life again so that we may live through him.
That he paid the price for our weaknesses and flaws so that we may be perfect in him.
