Closing Thought:
Today we celebrate our freedom and Independence as a country. But I think we often misunderstand what freedom looks like. It’s not just the ability to do whatever we want – we are freed for a purpose.
It is absolutely clear that God has called you to a free life. Just make sure that you don’t use this freedom as an excuse to do whatever you want to do and destroy your freedom. Rather, use your freedom to serve one another in love; that’s how freedom grows.For everything we know about God’s Word is summed up in a single sentence: Love others as you love yourself. That’s an act of true freedom.If you bite and ravage each other, watch out—in no time at all you will be annihilating each other, and where will your precious freedom be then?Galatians 5:13-15 MSG
