For you were called to freedom, brothers and sisters; only do not use your freedom as an opportunity to indulge your flesh, but through love serve one another. Galatians 5:13 NET
We journey towards freedom with God all the time. Working alongside Him, we write the stories of our lives. He creates the settings and the characters.

God encourages us, invites us, corrects us, persuades us, and challenges us—but we and we alone must decide, for ourselves every decision that will actually be written into our stories, immediately, indelibly.
Thankfully, the plan God intends for us involves making some mistakes, some bad decisions, but learning from them and allowing Him to redeem them.
Amazing grace! He can, you know, redeem even the worst decisions.
