Freedom ( 2 Corinthians 5 v 17 )

The great cry of mankind is for freedom,freedom from poverty,freedom of worship,freedom politically,freedom from racism,the cry of William Wallace in Brave heart as he was at the point of death was ,'Freedom''. Recently we went out for a picnic,it was windy,so we choose a place that would give us a little shelter from the wind. It was there I noticed a lot of silver containers on the ground,from those containers people get a gas which they inhale,and I suppose it gives them a high.You know what happens when a person inhales that gas for the first time?,they give up their freedom, addiction takes over. You know what happens  when you look at pornography ,you become an addict,you loose your freedom.Our Saviour said this ,'everyone who sins is a slave to sin', ( John 8 v 34),it means you have lost your freedom. You may say I can stop anytime I want, I have done it many times,lets face it you are no longer the master you are the slave,the tail is now wagging the dog. Whats your addiction?,what or whom have you surrendered your freedom to? ,has your addiction  blinded you as to the pain it is causing you and even those you love?.There is a TV series called father Brown  ,he always solves the crime,but along side of that he wants the perpetrator , to repent and seek forgiveness.if you want to be free you can be , if you repent,repentance is a deep sorrow and has with it a deep desire to change ,then seek Jesus  for  forgiveness ,for Jesus said He will set you free ( John 8 v  34 )
