Genuine, God-given freedom is living at peace in God's universe so that we may be of service to others in need. It is living in a universal, divine relationship with all that God has created. When you extend to others their God-given freedom, you are free. There is no other way of gaining freedom for yourself but by giving others their freedom.

The reverse is also true. You are in bondage when you deny freedom to any other creature in God's universe. This does not mean that when you recognize your oneness with God that you are denied individuality or diversity. But as you recognize your oneness you will find that your individuality and diversity are enhanced. This is true because God expresses His freedom through you as individuality and diversity.

Why not live your God-given freedom today and let others be free also?
