IN THE BEGINNING…THE WORD
DAILY DEVOTIONAL FOR TODAY, SEPTEMBER 14, 2011
THE FREE
Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead, cast out devils: freely ye have received, freely give. Matthew 10:8
God tells us that we have freely received… and we have. As His children we have freely received the gift of salvation. We have freely received the gifts of the Spirit. We have freely received grace and divine care. Every morning we freely receive of his new mercy. And because we have freely received, we may freely give.
How wonderful it is to have the privilege to serve God, freely. Out of the abundance of our hearts we may give bountifully, not sparingly or confined by the law. Christianity is not forced labor. Freely we have received of God, and freely we shall give.
Today, let us enjoy our freedom by serving God bountifully.
