In a fast-paced world overloaded with technology and information, it can be difficult to remember who we are as Godβs children. We can forget that we are called not only to do, to build, and to accomplish, but simply to exist as free children of God. Embracing that deeper call requires courage, mired as we are in doubts, fears, and sometimes aggressive manipulation from others. Yet from the very beginning God offers us a life full of love and happiness with Him. At the core of this gift is our freedom and we must struggle to maintain it, defend it, and grow continually in it.
In Made for Freedom, author Jutta Burggraf offers a penetrating meditation on freedom and its importance in the life of a Christian. She explains that our ultimate happiness is a result of a humble βyesβ to Godβs gift of our very selves, accepting both the light and the darkness of who we are. From there, we can go a step further to accept Godβs love and invite Him, and only Him to fill the gaps with love and healing. With this humble but honest perspective, we can choose to love ourselves as God loves us, and in turn, to love others.
