Freedom of the Soul

1 Min Read

“Now the Lord is that Spirit: and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty” (II Corinthians 3:17 in the King James Version of the Holy Bible).

Do I truly value my freedom? Do I really understand what it means to be free? True freedom doesn’t mean the absence of adversity nor does it mean that I am exempt from all authority. Pure freedom is the freedom of the soul that only God can give and no man can take it away.

Prayer: Lord, You came to free us from our past mistakes and to liberate us from a life of servitude to sin so we could follow truth. Because of You, I live in freedom regardless of the prison of circumstances that may surround me.

Faithful Love and Endless Mercies

1 Min Read

“It is of the LORD’S mercies that we are not consumed, because his compassions fail not. They are new every morning: great is thy faithfulness.” (Lamentations 3:22-23 in the King James Version of the Bible)

God’s compassion has no end. His desire is not to destroy you, but to restore you. We made mistakes yesterday; last week; last month; last year; but today He is inviting us to start over. He offers us new mercy every morning!

Prayer: I am overwhelmed by your loving faithfulness to me. You see me not as I am, but what You want me to become. Thank you for being patient with me!
