Freedom

I heard the phrase, "You’ve got your freedom, now who are you going serve?" and it stimulated a few thoughts. First, this is a standing question for everyone who exists. You see this dilemma in almost all situations and cultures. The more freedom one has, the more of a problem this question becomes. This is why we should keep tight reins on our children. Kids do not have the maturity to make decisions about life. There are too many temptations and too many dangers you give total freedom to a child. This would be why there is so much brokenness and grief in Hollywood. Here are a lot of people with large amounts of money, expansive freedom and very little accountability.

A child, and people in general, need to understand that regardless of ones station in life there is always some level of authority under which we live. But, as is the point of this post, the level of freedom we enjoy will reveal our true passions and true devotion.  And where our passion and heart lay, reveals whom we actually serve.  Hopefully that servitude is not centered on ourselves.
