I am reminded by a song "Free to be Me" by Francesca Battistelli with the words telling us were "free" to me..... free to be ourself!! But also we have another freedom; were free from this world by having Christ come into our life!!! Yes, the world could offer us some freedom in our life, but in the end the world's freedom lasts only for a short moment, not eternity!

Are you ready to see and live this Freedom, today? This gift is for all, not just us but all those who seek Him and not seek the world..... Come to Christ and pray for His love, His guidance and His freedom that gives to all, even those in that did follow the world before!!!
"For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life." ~John 3:16
