Relationships
I don't know if its just me, but when I'm doing what I'm supposed to be, when I'm in His Word, when I'm praying like I should, then I get messages like this one... I was on my way out to my car thinking about how some people (JRenee v.1.0, included) think that coming to Christ and following Him is the same as giving up your freedom. Oddly, or rather, appropriately, it is just the opposite.
For instance, my relationships to my family, friends, co-workers, the people I meet once or twice... those are the tough relationships; the ones that take work. Who am I supposed to be with them? I have a persona with each group; each genre of people in my life. The only time I don't have to have a 'persona' is when I'm 'just me' on my knees, and sometimes, completely laid out, face down, before my Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. All He asks is that I worship Him, and He'll take care of everything else... There is so much freedom in knowing that all I have to do is worship Jesus to have the best relationship with the best friend anyone could ever have.
