RESPECT AND FREEDOM

^{1 peter 2:16-17}

¹⁶Live as free men, but do not use your freedom as a cover-up for evil; live as servants of God.

¹⁷Show proper respect to everyone: Love the brotherhood of believers, fear God, honor the king.

How do we respect ? " show proper respect to everyone"

How do we take freedom ? " do not use your freedom as a cover up for evil"

We as believers have freedom in Christ, but the apostles defined freedom more narrowly than the normal use of the word in common language. Christians use freedom as a tool for a life of exuberant service. It is the doundation that God gives to us to reach our highest potential. Because God gives us freedom from religious reules and eternal guilt , we must not seek to indulge our own desires; instead, we should reach for the best God has for us. Let your freedom sing of power , joy, and love ---accountable to god, devoted to others.

I REALLY FIND IT VERY VERY DISAPPOINTED ON PPL THAT WHO DO NOT KNOW HOW TO RESPECT THEIR BELOVED FAMILIES! God has already told us to show proper respect to everyone, your families are your closest ppl in your life with god, if a guy who do not know how to respect to his dad/ mum / sisters , then he will never know how to respect to his wife and his wife's families. Families are blessing from god into our life, why families are in my life? Because God wants me to learn how to love one and other, love is from inside out, inside is your families and out is ppl from outside of your world. From today , we need to pay more attention on our familes, we should invest more time and love into their life , and also respect all your family members, pratice your love with them, and let your love from God can grow from inside out.

Now we should set up a few simple task for our self and pratice the love n respect in our families :

1. Give a big smile to every of your family members every morning

2. Pray for your families every time you talk to God

3. Do not swore at one another.

4. Find 10 positive things from each other

5. Say "I love you" or "I really really thank God for have you in my life" to your parents or sisters and brothers at lease 3 times in a year.
