Freedom!

After and Before

Jon got his cast removed today. He now has new freedom of movement and activity. Jon intends to give the new wrist a good work out today at band camp, helping the Male’s unload their moving truck, playing ultimate frisbee, and finally, swimming. Swimming is one thing you can’t do with a cast on!

On the way back from the doctors appointment we talked about how leaders use their acquired influence for the benefit of others. Leaders are called to use their freedom to serve, rather than be served. Freedom can be used for selfish pursuits, or it can be used for the benefit of others. Leaders hear the call of God to use their freedom to serve God's purpose in the lives of people.

How about you? What has God given to you, and how could you use it to serve others? Have you experienced the joy and freedom that accompany serving?

You, my brothers, were called to be free. But do not use your freedom to indulge the sinful nature; rather, serve one another in love. The entire law is summed up in a single command: “Love your neighbor as yourself.” Galatians 5:13-14
