Verse<\/strong>
\nIt is absolutely clear that God has called you to a free life. Just make sure that you don\u2019t use this freedom as an excuse to do whatever you want to do and destroy your freedom. Rather, use your freedom to serve one another in love<\/strong>; that\u2019s how freedom grows. For everything we know about God\u2019s Word is summed up in a single sentence: Love others as you love yourself. That\u2019s an act of true freedom. If you bite and ravage each other, watch out\u2014in no time at all you will be annihilating each other, and where will your precious freedom be then? (Galatians 5:13-15 MSG)<\/p>\n

My Word or Phrase<\/strong>
\nserve one another in love<\/p>\n

My Image<\/strong>
\nWhat I see is Jesus rising from the table, tying a towel around his waist and washing the disciples feet. They didn’t ask for this but Jesus was doing it out of love. <\/p>\n

My Invitation<\/strong>
\nMy invitation is to simple emulate Jesus and serve one another in love. Easy to say but tough to do.<\/p>\n
