“Where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom.”
(2 Cor. 3:17, NIV)
Fireworks over the Willamette River – note image of the American flag in cascading sparks.
As passion-hearted disciples of Christ, we follow after a loving God who continuously declares freedom over us.
- Our Father doesn’t chain us or condemn us to legalistic rules. He sets us free to love as He loves.
- Jesus, our co-heir, doesn’t coerce us into matching achievements of those who’ve gone before us. Rather, He releases us to express ourselves with creativity, true to our unique DNA.
- The Holy Spirit doesn’t quench the flame in our souls. Instead, He lights a strike-anywhere match, fans the flame, and sends us out to multiply it.
In what area are you learning to love as God loves?
In what area are you stretching and expressing yourself creatively?
In what part of your community does the Holy Spirit need you to spark a fire?

Lynn, Using your questions to talk with God. Thank you.
Your blog is a challenge, inspiring, and comforting. A sanctuary where
God is found, and experienced. May
God bless you as you write your book
on self-talk. Going back now to read
about your conference in Turner.
Sounds very inter-esting! Jeanne

Jeannie, thank you for your kind words. God Himself is our sanctuary – may His presence be your refuge tower today. Your encouragement is always so filled with a breath of the Holy Spirit. Thanks!
