Freedom Now!

Posted on 04. Jul, 2009 by in Uncategorized



In honor of Independence Day, some thoughts on freedom. Happy Fourth!

Freedom now! Not as a human demand, but as a divine declaration.
Freedom now! Not as a right based on race, but as a gift of God’s grace.
Freedom now! Not as a sweet by-and-by, pie-in-the-sky fancy, but as a yearning fulfilled, as a prayer answered, as a panting satisfied.
Freedom now! Because Christ came to earth, in the here-and-now, and now we have the “right now” promise that whomever the Son sets free is free indeed.
Freedom now! To speak as voices for the voiceless, especially persecuted believers.
Freedom now! To fight for what is right.
Freedom now! To turn relational war-zones into sacred shalom zones.
Freedom now! Liberated by Christ from the sandbox of selfishness.
Freedom now! Launching into a life of service.
Freedom now! Spreading forgiveness far and wide.
Freedom now! Soaring with wings like eagles.
Freedom now! Running without ever getting weary.
God is granting freedom now!
