Created To Be Free

 

The U.S President Joe Biden bestowed the Presidential Medal of Freedom on a group of recipients, including a film star I like very much, Michael J. Fox.

The Presidential Medal of Freedom is the highest civilian honor in the U.S, Michael J. Fox was honored with this medal as a "world renowned advocate for Parkinson's disease research"

That medal should remind us that it is an honor to be free.

Freedom brings honor for it is the free man that can contribute and whose contribution will be regarded.

Humanity is created for freedom and that is why anything associated with liberty/freedom is regarded as valuable.

Human beings and animals are happiest when they are free, they look more beautiful, fulfilled and natural when free.

Consider the urge our pet dogs have for a walk and how happy they are in an open space and their excitement when they are unleashed in our gardens or at the park. The joy!

Freedom brings joy, especially if a person or animal has been incarcerated for so long.

Many animals are not meant to be confined, they are better in the wild where they are free, they are created to be free.

How much more you?

You are of more value than any animal, you are created to be free.

You are created to be like God in many respects, that is how you are meant to function.

It's unnatural for human beings to be bound or enslaved irrespective of race, nationality, tribe, language or skin color.

Jesus the Christ likened his followers to sheep because of the ability of sheep to follow shepherds, they listen to the shepherd's voice as the shepherd leads them in the best way and path for them.

We are meant to and designed to follow the Shepherd- Jesus the Christ!

Shepherds lead the sheep to the place of freedom and safety.

Isn't that what you really want, to be safe and free?

Sin incarcerates.

The illustration of Jesus likening his followers to sheep and He being their Shepherd depicts freedom and safety for the sheep (his followers).

The shepherd leads the sheep to where the sheep will find pasture, they are free to go out and come in.

The U.S is a country associated with freedom, one of her greatest attributes.

Unfortunately not much can be said of her being the safest place to live going by happenings there and information we get from the news and media outlets.

Our freedom and safety is in Jesus Christ and His kingdom.
