Free - a random thought

Last night Gigi and I watched October Baby, the story of a young woman who discovers that she is the survivor of  an attempted abortion.  I thought it was a great movie with a surprising ending.  You can get it on Netflix, at least that much I know.

Anyway, early on in the movie the young woman writes in her journal, "The truth will set you free?"  It is more of a question for her than an answer and the movie takes her and us on a journey, a quest for the truth.

Jesus is the one who said that the truth shall set us free.  It will break the chains within us; that fetter our hearts to a relentless thought process that hides, deceives, and otherwise suppresses all truth about ourselves, our God, our place with God and, above all, His love and forgiveness.

And the only way to know this truth is to follow Jesus.  He is after all, the one who lights the way for us, sometimes shining the greatest light into the depth of our souls.
