“For the Lord is the Spirit, and wherever the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom.”
—2 Corinthians 3:17
Encouragement for Today
God’s Spirit give us freedom. Never forget that. Freedom is one of the tests as to whether something is from God. Of course, it’s a certain kind of freedom. It’s freedom to love, to serve from the heart. If we do not feel free in our service, or in anything else we do, we need to double-check whether we’re operating in the Spirit, or whether the Holy Spirit is leading us to do that thing. When the Holy Spirit leads, the freedom we feel is a sign that he is present.
