Permission GrantedSample

Have you ever had someone take advantage of you? Well, I have and it didn’t feel too good. Through these experiences, I caught a glimpse of what it might feel like for God when we use our freedom to live outside of God’s best for our lives. God has given us this amazing freedom to make our own choices, we just don’t always use it well. But instead of holding that against us, God listens when we call out for help. Jesus set us free; he gave us freedom—not so we could do whatever we wanted, but so we could live with purpose.That kind of freedom isn’t about following a bunch of rules—it’s about making choices that reflect love, kindness, and truth. When we serve others in love, we show we understand what God has given us.
Find a way to serve someone with love today, not because you have to but because you get to! God has given us an amazing gift, so let’s use it and share it!
