ROMANS 8 (The Message)
In Romans 8, Paul does a phenomenal job of describing what freedom in Christ can be like. He talks about the woes and troubles of this world, and how Jesus overcame them. He then presents how God offers us the same freedom and "beyond this world" perspective that He gave His son.

The worries and ways of this world are always trying to drag us down, to capture our attention, to shift our perspective. But following them only leads to more worry, more pain, more uncertainty.

If we can operate in this world but not succumb to its pressures ... if we can keep our focus on winning the race God has set before us ... if our challenge can be to help others rather than to help ourselves by oppressing others ... that is where freedom lies.

If you do one thing for yourself today ... in the midst of this hustle bustle Christmas season, click on the above link ... focus on and pray over Romans 8. Seek to change your perspective and bring yourself peace.
