What Freedom Feels Like

Without bondage, how do the free appreciate their freedom?

It almost makes me want to ...
No, I can and must appreciate the bondage. In all things I will give thanks. Even in what I am being walked out of.

Especially when it looks like the littlest thing. I think lots of times the littlest thing is like the tip of what is following. That little thing is not discrete, but is really just the first crossing over we can observe.

So much of my life has been in context to a reference. A human reference and authority. Now that my reference, standard and authority is not human, the habits of human approval can be abandoned.

I made a decision today that is contrary. And of course you know that if I act contrary, that is supposed to make me contrary, and I have been well trained to not be contrary. Today I am going to act contrary, and it is not going to make me anything.

What I am is already set. Thank you, Father.
