Can we be on time for once! How many of us will admit that it is so easy to take our spouses for granted and not give them our best? When you’re dating you are auditioning for the part of husband or wife and so you show your best side. But so often once we get married, we exhale and say, “I’m free!”. But we must make sure we are not abusing our freedom in Christ.
In my marriage I am free to ______________________. You fill in the blank. There are a lot of good answers, but the one we’re looking for is “serve”!
For, brethren, ye have been called unto liberty; only use not liberty for an occasion to the flesh, but by love serve one another. Galatians 5:13
We are free in Christ and free in our marriages. We have liberty to do or not to do. But we should not let that liberty become an excuse for not serving each other in love. In Christ we are not free to operate in our flesh. We’re all late sometimes, but being late most of the time is not serving in love.
