Merry-go round freedom

by Bruce Wadd  

 

Both boys seemed too old for this historical merry-go round. It was originally constructed for the European show circuit, with classic artwork that had been painstakingly restored. But they insisted. Their tickets were purchased, the queue joined, and before long it was their turn.

 

Liam and Hugh sat in their seat, belted in, and with safety checks complete the engine began to rev, and the ride began to move.

 

Only two circles later both boys were swinging well out on long chains, riding free as birds, letting the wind flow through their well-combed hair.

 

They were enjoying their wonderful freedom – the buzz of the ride, but with the safety of being attached.

 

Living in Jesus is so similar. If you are willing to submit to Him, listen and follow His direction, you will begin to live of life of absolute freedom in Him. It will be exhilarating, like nothing you’ve ever experienced before!

 

Now glory be to God who by His might power at work within us is able to do far more than we would ever

dare to ask or even dream of – infinitely beyond

our highest prayers, desires, thoughts or hopes.” 

Ephesians 3:20

 

TODAY, get on for the ride of your life!
