"So if the Son sets you free..."

"So if the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed." John 8:36 (NIV)

These were my thoughts upon waking this morning.  I knew that today was going to be busy, so I set out to spend some quality time with my Lord.  With this verse going through my brain, I then read my devotional.  God is good. He has set us free! He has set me free! Without Christ, I would not be where I am today. Praise Him!

"...Jesus gave Mary Magdalene her life back, and in response she gave him her loyalty, her everything, her very heart.  Imagine.  Some of us have experienced this.  The gospel of Christ has made us new, healing our spiritual, emotional, or physical diseases.  But can you imagine him standing right there in front of you? The living Christ, in the flesh, saying, 'You are healed. You are free.'  I hope I'd follow, too.  And so she did. She was the first to the empty tomb, the first to hear the risen Christ speak her name.  He even trusted her with a most important message:  'Go tell the others I'm alive Mary.' Jesus changed Mary's life.  He set her free from the darkness and brought her into the light.  And He offers us this same gift today."

I'm moving today to my new apartment! HURRAH!! Please pray for the movers-that I will have enough movers, and helpers, and for all their physical bodies, that no one will be injured.  And for me as I attempt to get settled amongst all the ministry activities that are happening in these next two weeks. Thank you for your prayers.
