Freedom to Be

We have the freedom to live free or chained.

We have the freedom to live free or caged.

We have the freedom to live free or bound.

It is our choice.

We are slaves to whom we lend ourselves.

If we choose anger, confusion, fear or agony, that is our prison.

If we choose joy, love, hope and grace, that is our sentence.

It is a choice, and it becomes our confinement.

Choose well.

For your choices will overwhelm and set shackles on you.

One is for life and one is for death.

And you get to pick and choose.

What then? Shall we sin because we are not under law but under grace? Certainly not! Do you not know that to whom you present yourselves slaves to obey, you are that one’s slaves whom you obey, whether of sin leading to death, or of obedience leading to righteousness? But God be thanked that though you were slaves of sin, yet you obeyed from the heart that form of doctrine to which you were delivered. And having been set free from sin, you became slaves of righteousness.

Romans 6:15-18

For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.

Romans 6:23

For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.

John 3:16
