Day 24: Holy Freedom
Serve God in holy freedom, not constraint.
Wisdom from Brother Lawrence
I'm not suggesting that we should forcefully constrain ourselves. No, we should serve God in a holy freedom. We should carry out our duties faithfully, without stress or unrest, gently and calmly bringing our mind back to God whenever we notice it straying from Him.
Scripture
Galatians 5:22-23
But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. The law is not against such things.
Reflection Questions
- 1
Do I gently return to God when I notice my affections stray?
- 2
How can I cultivate a holy freedom to be led by the Spirit, rather than rigid rules?
