“Live as people who are free, not using your freedom as a cover-up for evil, but living as servants of God.”
1Pet 2:16
Our God created each of us as ” free moral agents.”
We have the freedom to choose our lifestyles and standards.
Peter admonishes us to use our freedom as servants of God.
Jesus made this clear when he gave us clarity of the two greatest laws.
“You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.”
Mt 22:37
“You shall love your neighbor as yourself.”
Mt 22:39
Jesus then explained who our neighbor is with the Parable of the Good Samaritan.
We serve God by serving other people.
The highest acts of service are those that meet unexpressed needs along with meeting needs without seeking recognition.
Editors note: as Mother’s Day approaches, I vividly remember my mother having me deliver food to a neighbor and saying , “Slip this into Mrs. So and So’s kitchen.” Mom sought NO recognition.
Good morning and let freedom ring by serving God today by serving others.
