Lent 2013

Wednesday, Fifth Week of Lent

If you continue in my word, you are truly my disciples; and you will know the truth and the truth will make you free.  John 8:31-32

True freedom is the freedom of the children of God.  The political, economic, social and even religious powers surrounding us all want to keep us in bondage so that we will obey their commands and be dependent on their rewards, instead of relying on God.
     But the spiritual truth that leads to freedom is the truth that we belong not to the world but to God, whose beloved children we are.  By living lives in which we keep returning to that truth in word and deed, we will gradually grow into our true freedom.

What shows that you belong to God, not to the world?
