Spirit of the Lord is Freedom

When we think of freedom in the terms of relationships. we usually attach it to the absence of control from someone or something.  A person can choose healthy behaviors over unhealthy behaviors.  The indication of freedom in a relationship is two healthy people who take responsibility for their own actions.  The ultimate freedom is a relationship with the Spirit of the Lord.  True freedom is not the absence of a habit or behavior, but the presence of someone.  When you allow the Spirit of the Lord to free you, you look beyond the habits and irritations of another and see yourself through the eyes of freedom.

(2 Corinthians 3:17) Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom.
