Freedom

Today i drove to my friend's house. 9 hours in a car. Time to be alone. Time to think. Time to praise. Time to feel. Time to be with God. Over the years i've found that driving is good for me. It puts me in a place where i have space and time to think, to process - and nothing to distract me - or nothing that i can turn into a distraction.

I was reminded about God's passion for freedom. He just has this deep desire for our freedom - in every way. Freedom from sin, from oppressive work, from debt, from unhealthy relationships, from our past choices that we allow to entangle us - God desires our freedom! Today i was reminded that God longs for hope, and freedom more than i do. God wants my friends in Kolkata to know freedom. His desire for freedom is even stronger than mine. It is His heart desire, and what i feel is a reflection of His heart in me.

so, today, i was reminded that i serve a God who is much bigger than me. Who loves my friends more than i do. I serve the God who is passionate about freedom. AMEN!
