Remember when you were a child and your parents set boundaries that seemed unconventional; made no sense, and seemed to put all out restrictions on our ambition to enjoy life as we created it. We simply couldn’t understand why there were so many rules and regulations to minimize our freedom and our intention to just have fun and enjoy life. God also sets boundaries within our lives to actually free us from our own demise and negative outcomes that would surely create negative consequences and unmanageable experiences. When we realize the awesome love he has for us, we can participate in life as he intended.

The truth of God’s Word to reflect on:

“Loving God means keeping his commandments, and his commandments are not burdensome.” 1 John 5:3
