What really matters

I have been pondering on what really matters. My family and I have been tested lots in the last year it hasn't been easy but we are getting through things that I never knew I had the strength to bare. I have questioned God, church, myself and lots of other things as well I have even questioned who I really am and what he has called me to do. I still don't know all the answers but I do know one thing that my God knows all I have been through and he knows what is best for me. It's not really about me anyway and I know that God is doing something even though it seems so untouchable at the time. I do know all that really matters is my relationship with Jesus and as long as I am doing what he asks of me I cant go wrong not ever! I have went through so many different feelings and emotions, allot of times we think even God doesn't understand what we are going through but he does. All that really matters is that we are reaching others to bring them where they need to be in Christ and all these things we go through are just stepping stones towards making a difference to someone who is lost or in need of help! I hope that all this stuff I have experienced, God will give me the chance to use it to help others, because you just never know, where you might end up, when the storm is over.

Freedom

Gal 5:1 says, it is for freedom that Christ has set us free, stand firm, then, and do not let yourselves be burdened again by a yoke of slavery.

What is true freedom? Is freedom setting on your front porch enjoying the summer breeze? Maybe Freedom is taking a long drive in the country with no real destination on a Sunday afternoon. Some might think freedom is being a free spirit so to speak and doing whatever you want no matter what the risk, just as long as it makes you happy.

What about money is that what truly makes us happy or free?

I have thought I found freedom many times in my life, but I never understood real freedom until I gave my life to Christ. Some might think that being a Christian is a form of bondage but I have experienced the bondage of lots of things and Christ has never made me feel bound. I believe religion can make us feel bound as well as other people. Also we may feel bound by other things in life, but never by Christ.

As long as we keep our eyes on Christ and remember that he has truly set us free from sin and bondage, it is there that we will find freedom and all that other stuff won’t seem to bother us as much. I believe true freedom in Christ comes from with in ourselves it’s finding who you are in Christ and letting God meet you where you are at. Just remember God wants you to be who he created you to be and he loves you no matter what and he wants us to have true freedom in him. 2Cor. 3:17 says: Now the Lord is the Spirit and where the spirit of the Lord is there is freedom. I truly believe that, don’t you?
