Freedom. Who wants it? Most people will tell you that they do. But most people do not pursue it by their lifestyle. Most people pursue security. And the two are like oil and water. They don't mix.
If you will be free, this means that you will be responsible for yourself, and therefore not under the control of anyone else. This opens you up to all kinds of risk, and danger.
If you will be secure, you will be, of necessity, under the control of the one, or the entity, who provides you with that security. This is the only way they can guarantee your security. If you will not subject yourself to them and their rules, then they will not provide you with security, you will become free, and then you will face risk and danger.
This is why a lot of people do not really want freedom. Because it is too scary. There are no guarantees, there is no security, and it could all be lost at any time. But you will be free!
And now, for all those who know of my belief in God, and are thinking what a hypocrite I am, I present the following.
You have the wrong idea about him. Gotten from other sources who have the wrong ideas about him.
When you get to know Him, you find out that He is love. His main purpose and goal is to love you. And love always sets you free. Therefore when you are loved by God you will be set absolutely free.
See, God's primary purpose in your life is to love you. To be your friend. This is why he created human beings. For love. And love will always set you free. This is what love does.
The purpose of life is relationship. The purpose of life is love. Pursue to Know the one who is love, and pursue to love people. Security is the wrong goal!
