What is freedom?

What is freedom?

God's word says where God's spirit is, there is liberty. But what does that mean? Liberty from fear, liberty from sin, liberty from loneliness, liberty from disappointment, liberty from confusion, liberty from selfishness.

It also means there’s liberty to; a liberty to receive grace, liberty to receive mercy, liberty to receive peace, liberty to receive my love.

There is liberty to enter into God's presence at a deeper level, unencumbered by the weight of this world. And where God's presence is there is joy.

The joy of fellowship. The joy of true companionship. The joy of being in a continual state of thankfulness. The joy of a full life. The joy of completion. The joy of receiving being loved and giving that love away.

There is a liberty and joy to enter in to the dance of the bride and the bridegroom. Truth, beauty, wisdom flow from this dance.

This dance is the dance of eternity, of heaven kissing earth with mercy and grace.

This is the dance where old things have long passed away and there is a beholding of making all things news.

That is freedom’s dance!
