These are just a few things that I am thankful for. God taught me today about the freedom I have in him. There are so many things in this life that we become a slave to. Our finances, habbits, shows we watch, food we eat, phones, and much more. These can all be your master if you let them be your master. But God taught me today that he offers freedom from all the things that try to make me become a slave to them. I just want to be a slave for Jesus Christ. I promise you that I am not perfect in any way and don’t know everything but what I do know is Jesus offers us the gift of freedom from out sins because all of those sins got nailed to that cross when Jesus hung there. God paid the price for us and I AM SO THANKFUL FOR THAT. Have you ever watched the passion of the Christ? Its a pretty graphic movie but I am glad they made it that graphic. Because that movie speaks truth. That is what Jesus did for you and I. Most of you that have watched that movie more than likely cried, closed your eyes, and/or felt so bad when you saw the seen of Jesus getting wipped and beaten. Or maybe it was the seen of Jesus carrying that cross up the hill to go hang on it. Jesus could have called for all the angels to stop what was going on but he did not because he loves us so much. Next time God gives you forgiveness for something just think about the price God paid to give you that forgiveness. Love God with all your heart, mind, and soul. He is not mad at you. He has already paid the price and cleansed your sin as white as snow. Will you trust in what God is calling you to do today? He will show you what he wants from you if you stop and listen to him.
