The greatest freedom we can ever know

WILLIAM E. MOODY

The freedom to be who we truly are—the perfect likeness of God, the complete manifestation of divine Love: this is the greatest freedom. For with such liberty we find our real God-given dominion over sin, sickness, sorrow.

But how do we gain this freedom and the bounty of God's blessings that accompany it? It takes consecration; fidelity to Truth; joyful willingness to relinquish materiality; devotion to righteousness; moral courage built on obedience to divine law—even right in the minutiae of our human affairs.

With all of this we are actually ordering our priorities and setting a higher standard for living. We are putting God first. We are putting off the old, material perceptions of life and reality. We are putting on what is good and pure and fresh and permanent. We are beginning to see reality through the lens of scientific, spiritual understanding. We are opening our hearts to the redeeming action of the Christ. We are becoming better men and women.
