When we were young, we thought being free meant we could do whatever we wanted, whenever we wanted to do it. For many, it wouldn’t matter if that freedom endangered themselves or someone else.
In Galatians, we see a different type of freedom. Freedom not to do our will, to do whatever we want, but instead, to do God’s will.
God wants us to use our freedom to choose to serve others. It seems a bit odd, doesn’t it? But, of course, Jesus used his freedom to serve others. He taught anyone who would listen, he healed the multitudes, and he died so that we might live.
Lord, thank you for sending us such an amazing example of serving humbly with love. Teach me daily to be more like Jesus. Teach me to serve others, humbly, with love.
