As I age I embrace a simpler life. A life not dominated by Christian rules, but rather a life lived for Him. God only had one rule in the beginning, don't eat from the tree. One rule that was it, now many Christians find themselves motivated by guilt, standards and rules rather than by the amazing grace and mercy of God. We all ought to want to live a life pleasing to God, but that desire flows out of a relationship with Him. Not because anyone or anything makes us feel obligated.
More and more I embrace the simplicity of the unconditional love and forgiveness of Jesus Christ. The importance of my time spent with my Heavenly Father. The call to love and lead my family. The opportunity to share Christ from a life that overflows with the power of the Holy Spirit.
The more I receive His grace in my life the more I am able to show His grace to others. Our freedom was purchased at a great cost, the life of Christ was given for us. Let's not slip back into bondage or place bondage on others, live free in Him.
