Freedom.
It isn't free.
It isn't even cheap.
In fact, it comes at a very, very high price.
No one uses a fur coat to clean their bathroom,
Or diamond-studded shovels to muck out animal stalls.
And yet, how often do we abuse our precious freedom, using it in selfish and destructive ways.
Paul said it best, "You, my brothers, were called to be free. But do not use your freedom to indulge the sinful nature; rather, serve one another in love." (Galatians 5:13)
Therefore, on this holiday weekend, let us soberly remember the sacrifices that have been made to secure our freedom, and let us resolve anew to honor those sacrifices by using our freedom to serve others in love.
Happy Independence Day!
