This looks like a blast! I would have one if they didn't cost thousands of dollars! Freedom to fly and swim, well, limited freedom.
We are free to make any choice we want, well, limited freedom. We can choose to ignore God or deny His existence, to idolize someone or something, to steal something, to lie, to be unfaithful to our spouse, to dishonor our parents, to disregard God's Sabbath, but then we must suffer the consequences of our choices and answer to God, above all. God in love, sometimes allows us to see the consequences of our actions, so we will see our need of Him. He loves us, His children, and so must discipline us sometimes, in love, so we will be happier on this journey. Sometimes, during the discipline, we don't see it as happy!
The only true freedom is in Jesus Christ. He came to forgive us of our sins, and not only that, but to change our hearts and desires! 1 John 1:9 says, "But if we confess our sins to him, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all wickedness." I know I'm much happier knowing God loves me the same, no matter what I have or haven't done. He can't excuse sin, as we see what price His Son Jesus had to pay for your sin, my sin. Hebrews 11:24,25 says, "By faith Moses, when he was come to years, refused to be called the son of Pharaoh's daughter;Choosing rather to suffer affliction with the people of God, than to enjoy the pleasures of sin for a season;" Sin may bring "pleasure" for a short time, and we may think we're in freedom, but then the results of sin blindside us. We're no longer flying our own way, but realize our need of God.
Give God the results of sin in your life, the shattered dreams, the fear, the anxiety. He will put the pieces back together, and you will fly higher than you ever dreamed!!!
God's best 2 U, Joy J
