Celebrate Freedom and Love
Live as free people, but do not use your freedom as a cover-up for evil; live as God’s slaves. Show proper respect to everyone, love the family of believers, fear God…—1 Peter 2:16–17 (NIV)
And then he told them, “Go into all the world and preach the Good News to everyone.”—Mark 16:15 (NLT)
Saint Patrick is said to have listened to his dreams and allowed them to direct his life. In one dream, he heard the people of Ireland calling out for him to walk among them. Shortly after, he began his priesthood studies. Do you listen to your dreams, or other ways God communicates with you?
Heavenly Father, I long to serve You. I am open to Your calling.
