I've decided to have a word for the year for 2024. It's the word - Freedom! It's been popping up a few times recently and it would be a good word to use to focus my mind on. There are 3 verses that talk about freedom that I want to think about:
Galatians 5:1-
Stand fast therefore in the liberty wherewith Christ hath made us free, and be not entangled again with the yoke of bondage.
It's talking about how Jesus made us free from our sins with his death on the cross and resurrection. We don't need to try to pay for our sins by doing all kinds of work and religious things. He gave it to us as a free gift. We can now worship Him in Spirit and in truth.
2 Thessalonians 3:1
Finally, brethren, pray for us, that the word of the Lord may have free course, and be glorified, even as it is with you:
The Apostle Paul wanted to be able to preach the Word of God freely and that it will spread throughout without any hinderance and be effective. I pray that same prayer for me.
Revelation 22:17
And the Spirit and the bride say, Come. And let him that heareth say, Come. And let him that is athirst come. And whosoever will, let him take the water of life freely.
A beautiful verse at the end of the Bible, showing that God wants everyone to come to Him, freely. He wants to be involved in your life and help you and give you eternal life, if only you will freely come to Him.
Watch as I create an art journal page, with these thoughts in mind...
