Free to serve

Morning: Psalm 72; Isaiah 54:1-17; Galatians 4:21-31; Mark 8:11-26
Evening: Psalm 113, 122; I Samuel 1:20-28a; Romans 8:14-21
Shockingly, human slavery still happens. Most humans, however, believe in freedom for all. True freedom is of the heart; it makes us want to serve others in love, because all are children of God. Jesus teaches that we are agents of the new reality that God’s steadfast love is building in the world. God’s children do not depend on signs, wonders, or handouts. When we see that our lives are meant for service, we are free indeed - free to invite the world into the paradoxical freedom of loving service.
