Set Free

April 21, 2020

By Patty Kamahele, Administrative Assistant

I really never thought I would see the day when I:

  • Couldn’t hug my grandkids.

  • Wasn’t able to jump in the car and travel wherever I wanted.

  • Would be denied a visit to my brother who is ill.

  • Couldn’t go out to enjoy golfing with my husband.

  • Would see places of worship closed down.

  • Was told to stay home from work.

And yet, all of these things are happening now. And what has really been taken away? Some of the many things in life that we had grown so accustomed to.

It has caused me to reflect on the many, many things I have taken for granted. 

It has caused me to trust God.

It has caused me to draw closer to Him.

It has caused me to treasure family.

It has caused me to appreciate my freedoms.

It has caused me to re-evaluate my priorities.

It has caused me to: ______________________________.

“So if the Son sets you free, you are truly free.” John 8:36

Lord, we can’t thank You enough for all You’ve done for us. You have taken a difficult situation to let us know we are never alone and that You care far beyond what we could ever imagine or think. People say it will be great when “things get back to normal”. But I pray our normal will have changed. That we will never look at life the same way again. That we will have drawn closer to You and to those You have put in our lives. Thank You, Lord, for the freedom we will always have in Your Son. In His Name. Amen.
