I’ve been thinking about free choice human beings have, and which we, the privileged in the western world, have in abundance. I choose what to eat and wear, where to live and what to do each day. Being a Christian, however, puts limits on my freedom; being a Christian requires me to think and do through the lens of love.
One might assume that economic privilege makes it easy for me to be kind, but I don’t see it that way. Like everyone else, I am free to choose to love, and like everyone else, sometimes I am kind, sometimes mean spirited. As a Christian, what makes the difference for me is I am conscious of The Light ahead of me, leading me toward love.
