For, brethren, ye have been called unto liberty; only use not liberty for an occasion to the flesh, but by love serve one another. — Galatians 5:13 KJV
For you were called to freedom, brothers and sisters; only do not turn your freedom into an opportunity for the flesh, but serve one another through love. — Galatians 5:13 NASB
Reflection
While we are called to freedom in Christ, it’s not freedom for self-indulgence, but for serving others in love. True freedom isn’t about satisfying our desires, but about stepping into the lives of others with humility and grace. Paul challenges us to use our freedom not for selfish gain, but to love and serve, just as Christ did. In a world obsessed with independence, real liberty is found in selfless love. So, how will you use your freedom today?
My Prayer
Heavenly Father, thank You for the gift of freedom through Your Son, Jesus. Help me to understand that this freedom isn’t just for my benefit, but a call to serve others in love. Open my eyes to the needs around me and give me the humility to put others first. When I’m tempted to indulge my own desires, remind me of the example Jesus set—serving with compassion and grace. Let my heart reflect Your love in all I do, using my freedom to uplift and bless those You place in my path. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
