True freedom is not being able to do whatever we desire to do. Honestly, who would be really happy with that anyway? It might initially seem like a lot of fun, but does it really satisfy the deepest desires of our hearts?
Rather, true freedom appears to be the ability to choose those restrictions that best suit our design and thus fulfill us the most. It is the ability to do what is right regardless of our circumstances in life. If you are truly free, you are able to forgive when others hurt you. You are able to stretch out your hand in friendship regardless of how much wrong the other side has caused you. It is the ability to overcome evil by doing good.
How can we attain this true freedom?
