NEITHER FREEDOM NOR FREE WILL ARE FREE

Is it you, God, knocking at the door seeking to be let out? Or is it my ego Lucy looking so adorable in her Shirley Temple ribbons and bows tap dancing at the door begging to be let in?

Again I know that fear is God in camouflage; his message is ever telling me to walk through my imagined killing fields to the safety of his arms and be freed of me.

Maybe we cannot take the Sermon literally, but we need to adhere to its underlying message. For me, I had to and still must take it literally to discover again that I personally cannot, that I must needs go to God if I am ever going to practice its underlying message...which is love and laugh, love and laugh, and that is all.

God loves us so much. Maybe that's why he gave us free will...so we can use it to find we must needs go to him to get free of that free will. 

Just as freedom isn't free neither is free will...ah, but both are more than equal to the price.

Thank you.
