I AM FREE (Reflections from study on Galatians)

I AM FREE

From judgement and judgemental spirit
to justification (Gal 2:15, 5:26).
From self and slavery
to sonship and service (Gal 4:7).
From works of the flesh
to walk by the Spirit (Gal 5:16).
From fleshly affections and affiliations
to the fruit of the Spirit (Gal 5:22-23).
From lusts and empty boastings
to love and bearing of one another's load (Gal 5:26 - 6:2).
I am free.
The only life I have left is Christ's life in me (Gal 2:20).
The only burden I carry
is the bondage to love one another (Gal 5:13).

love the ocean - God made it for Himself

About Me

In the Old Testament in the Bible, there was a man named Jacob who "wrestled with God and man." He wouldn't let God go until God answered his prayers. God admired that and renamed him Israel, "the one who fought or wrestled and prevailed". He fought with man--his inner man--and conquered his own weaknesses. He's my hero. He is what I hope God and man see me to be.
