freedom – Work in Progress

Fruitful: Rotten Fruit

Through Jesus’s redemptive work on the cross, we have been set free from those things that used to entangle us.

Because we have access to so much right now, it can be a struggle to use our freedom well.

From Jonah’s story, I believe we can learn a wealth of information about who God is and who we are.

I wonder if we can still enjoy God in the midst of the tragedy.

For the past month or so, there’s been one verse, in particular, that keeps springing to my mind.

What we don’t handle today, will need to be dealt with in the future.

As we trim back some of the excess from our physical lives, I believe the same can be done for our hearts and minds.

Let’s put ourselves in the story of Matthew 8 for just a moment to see what we learn about ourselves and the character of God.

Jesus came to take our burdens—even the ones we give ourselves.

I’m learning to brace for impact less and trust more–what about you?
