When I was younger that I felt I couldn’t do something because, as a Christian, I had been taught it was wrong. As I was praying during one of these times, it dawned on me that God doesn’t run a prison. I was free to do what I wanted.
The question was – what did I really want?
I scheduled some alone time and researched possible consequences. The process taught me a lot and was liberating as I carefully weighed pros and cons.
I could do this because I'm not stuck in some religious prison. Jesus died to set me free! My relationship with Him certainly influences my actions, but He is not a dictator forcing me to behave in a certain way.
Of course, one of the blessings of this life is that I have access to
the wisdom of the ages (thank you Holy Spirit). It’s certainly a wisdom
I’d want to access during my decision-making.
I love this life!
