Freedom to Love

“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
“And may the Lord make your love for one another and for all people grow and overflow, just as our love for you overflows.” 1 Thessalonians 3:12

God is constantly teaching us how to love, He sets us free to truly love and see one another through His eyes, to understand that people matter more than tasks, to put what’s important to God before what is “urgent” to our own human understanding. It really challenges me to surrender my plans, my ways, and follow His ways.
And when we actually do it, wow the results are amazing, to truly invest in others. We all reap what we sow, so why not sow love, compassion, mercy, friendship, caring hands, friendly smiles… How great is our God! He can take that small seed we plant and bring joy, hope and eternal results!

We are all playing a part of God’s melody, are we playing in tune with his heart beat? Or are we ignoring the Maestro, our amazing loving Director of the orchestra! I pray we continue each day following His lead.
