Do we want to be free?

Morning: Psalm 88; Jeremiah 11:1-8, 14-20; Romans 6:1-11;

Evening: Psalm 8, 138; John 8:33-47

Sometimes, it gets so frustrating for prophets when people don’t listen to truth … they think God must feel frustrated too.  But God’s faithfulness is not conditional on ours.  That’s hard for us to fathom, isn’t it? … Why bother being faithful if grace abounds even when we’re not!?  Yet only those unchanged by Love ask such questions. The real question is: Do we want the true, if paradoxical, freedom of obedience to God’s way, or do we insist on the illusory ‘freedom’ of our own way, which is slavery?
