Be truly free..... What must one do to become truly free?

Presupposing that you believe in those words of the Lord Jesus Christ, "without Me you can do nothing," you may securely follow a line of action like this:

1 - Refuse to be "pushed around" by egoistic forces from within: protect your freedom against them;
2 - Refuse to be coerced by fear from without; hold your head high against it, keep your mind's eye clear so that you may -
3 - Allow yourself to be drawn only by what you see and "feel" is truly good and deeply satisfying to you as a person who is Christian.

The "feel" of what is truly good and deeply satisfying is both the fruit of grace and the result of sincerity in searching what Christ would do in your situation. Christ is Son of God and God is love. He is inviting you in each situation to love as He loves. Exercise your mind to discover the most loving response you could make to God and to man in your present situation.

To this exercise of your mind, these will be added infallibly the light and the power of the Spirit of Christ who dwells within you, enabling you to see to "feel" unmistakably the impulse to true love/charity. To follow firmly the impulse of truth and love/charity - of Christ, that is - and each situation without being "pushed around" by egoistic forces from within or slavish fears from without, this is truly Christian freedom, freedom most deeply satisfying and self-fulfilling.

I have through years of reading, pondering, reflecting and contemplating, the 3 things that last; FAITH . HOPE . LOVE and I would like to made available my sharing from the many thinkers, authors, scholars and theologians whose ideas and thoughts I have borrowed. God be with them always. Amen!

I STILL HAVE MANY THINGS TO SAY TO YOU BUT THEY WOULD BE TOO MUCH FOR YOU NOW. BUT WHEN THE SPIRIT OF TRUTH COMES, HE WILL LEAD YOU TO THE COMPLETE TRUTH, SINCE HE WILL NOT BE SPEAKING AS FROM HIMSELF, BUT WILL SAY ONLY WHAT HE HAS LEARNT; AND HE WILL TELL YOU OF THE THINGS TO COME.

HE WILL GLORIFY ME, SINCE ALL HE TELLS YOU WILL BE TAKEN FROM WHAT IS MINE. EVERYTHING THE FATHER HAS IS MINE; THAT IS WHY I SAID: ALL HE TELLS YOU WILL BE TAKEN FROM WHAT IS MINE. - JOHN 16:12-15 -
