Love G-d and Do What You Want

I have been thinking about freedom, listening to G-d and my purpose in life. As I have been meditating on these topics I have come to realize something. If I am praying regularly, reading the Bible, and in general loving G-d with all my heart, something interesting happens. I start to become like Christ.

When that happens, when I align myself with G-d it brings me true freedom. I am able to go and do whatever I want. That might sound contradictory and wrong, but it is totally true. When I am living as Christ my desires line up with His. So "whatever I want" falls perfectly in line with "whatever He wants".

The world understands on some level freedom is doing whatever you want. But when that is outside of G-d's plan it comes with damage and inevitably brings us under the influence of the enemy. We become slaves of sin. But when we align ourselves with G-d we are able to step into the freedom that everyone desires to have. We are able to be truly free.

That is what Jesus meant when He said He came, not to abolish the law, but to fulfill it. We are able to live in complete freedom, all that is required is that we love G-d above all else and seek him completely.
