When you are interiorly free you call others to freedom, whether you know it or not. Freedom attracts wherever it appears. A free man or a free woman creates a space where others feel safe and want to dwell. Our world is so full of conditions, demands, requirements, and obligations that we often wonder what is expected of us. But when we meet a truly free person, there are no expectations, only an invitation to reach into ourselves and discover there our own freedom.
Where true inner freedom is, there is God. And where God is, there we want to be.

The thought came to my mind, “Birds of a feather flock together.” Just as freedom breeds freedom, negative breeds negative, sad breeds depression, etd. I have a difficult time being around people who choose to be bound by their own negative thoughts and feelings. I like to live by the thought, “In life, pain is inevitable but misery is optional.” I choose freedom.

Freedom attracts indeed! It is the one way toward peace. It is peace. Many in this country and throughout the world’s concept of peace runs counter to its truth.
Thank you, Helen.

Good morning, Helen. Thank you for this writing concerning freedom. What a tresure is pure freedom. A powerful scripture speaks to this: John 8:36 “If the Son therefore shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed.”
Be free!
Shirley

Hi Jana, I choose freedom like I choose happiness.
Hi Petry Man, Yes, freedom is the one way to peace. In fact, freedom is peace in the personal sense.
Hi Shirley, Good verse. Yes, “free indeed.”
