"For freedom Christ has set you free. Do not return to the yoke of slavery." Lord, you  have set us free from the bondage of sin, which in justice deserved eternal separation from  you. But in your great mercy, through your death on the cross, I have been set free. How ungrateful would I be if I freely choose to the state of alienation from you. And yet that is what I have done in the past and am capable of doing in the present. Instead, by your grace,let me remain faithful and grateful to this gift of freedom, by turning away from anything that will enslave me again. This is a day to day decision. This freedom is never to be taken for granted but always cherished for the gift it is.
