 So Jesus said to the Jews who had believed him, “If you abide in my word, you are truly my disciples, and you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.” They answered him, “We are offspring of Abraham and have never been enslaved to anyone. How is it that you say, ‘You will become free’?” John 8:31-33

To love and to be loved is to be free.  To know the truth is to be free.  The truth revealed though love is the heart of the good news.  What do I think this means?

To be loved is a wonderful thing.  To know I am special.  I feel special.  To know that my Creator loves me is enough.  Everything else is a bonus.

When I have a good awareness, or appraisal, of my being, then I have confidence and meaning and purpose.  I may have doubts, but none that really matter.  I have trust in my Creator.  Because I know I am loved and not judged, I can hear and accept the truth without fear.  This is the miracle of my existence.

PRAYER: May I love you as you love me.
