LIFE
WITHOUT BOUNDARIES
Are
you one who likes to
live free from a God
of "THOU SHALT
NOT"?
When
our oldest daughter
was very young, she
was an early riser (actually
all our girls were early
risers). Sometimes I
would find myself up
with her at 4:30 am
as she wanted an early
jump to the day.
I
would take her to our
family room which was
child-proofed, set up
child gates at the openings
then crash on the couch
as she placed and watched
her favourite movie
"Bambi".
She
was free to roam the
room in perfect safety
because of the loving
boundaries I had set
up for her. If she stayed
within them, she was
happy, protected and
at peace with me.
God
sets boundaries for
our protection - He's
not a Cosmic Party Pooper
but instead a loving
Father who knows our
limits, knows what's
best for us as well
as knowing our sinful
nature. The greatest
boundary God ever gave
was His Son. Those who
have a living faith
in the living Son of
God have a living boundary
within them. Through
His power we are protected
from the harm of sin
and set free from its
destructive lack of
limits.
Sin
say, do what you want,
when you want, how want
and as much as you want
- don't worry about
the consequences, just
live for the moment
God's
grace says, stay within
the vine which is Christ
and you will receive
more than you need,
all the nourishment
and riches and peace
of God.
Living
outside of God's boundaries
is a freefall ticket
to the pit of hell.
Living within Christ
and you rest safely
in the arms of Jesus..
Rejoice
in the Lord Always!
