Christian discipleship—joyful, freeing

Barbara Vining

Recently, I received a letter from a woman who was suddenly able to walk freely again after being unable to do so for several months. It happened when her thought shifted from a burdensome sense of self-concern to the joy of selflessly yielding to the redeeming and healing power of God, universal Truth and Love. It reminded me of words from a song I love on a CD called Gracenotes:

When thought of self flew out the door,There entered in its placeA freedom never known before,And peace, and love, and grace.(Lyrics by Phyllis Gilbert, Newsong Group)
