The hope of freedom for the creation

Morning: Psalm 55; Genesis 18:1-16; Hebrews 10:26-39
Evening: Psalms 113, 122; I Samuel 1:20-28a; Romans 8:14-21

My son thinks there’s a trend in youth culture towards ‘embracing the dark side’. Maybe this reflects a healthy human need to acknowledge the shadowy aspects of life? But you can get lost in the shadows. St. Paul believes we humans long to truly live and to be free instead of being stuck in a rut until we die. The hope of freedom for the creation is to find ourselves delivered from the shadows by realizing that we are children of a Love that is greater than the little ‘gods’ we may have unconsciously served until now.
