Contemplative Bible Reading

1 Peter 2:16 (New International Version)

For you are free, yet you are God’s slaves, so don’t use your freedom as an excuse to do evil.

We are free.

We are free from

silly human stuff that chokes our lives

For example, our cares choke our lives. Such as:

• I care about what you think of me
• I care about what I own
• I care about getting even with you (or ahead of you)
• I care about my retirement accounts

It is such a relief to be free. All we have to do is accept the freedom. Yikes, that can be difficult.
