“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.
