Most people do not recognize freedom. Even an enslaved soul has certain liberties, however, a self-made slave has none. Free dom, and free dumb. Rid yourself of domination, by freeing yourself from confusion and anxiety. Self inflicted wounds are shackles that confine the mind, the soul, and body.
How many times will you forget to forgive yourself? How many ways will you discover to cast blame on others rather than self?
How many times would your best friend bail you out of a gnarly situation. If the answer is not, "every single time they were truly capable," then odds are, you need a new best friend.
Freedom and friendship are not about how much money someone will lend you, or even give to you. It's not about someone giving you the shirt off of their back. Your best friend give you all of themselves when the money, shirt, and everything else is gone. What greater love has a person, than that a person lay down their life for their friends? (John 15:13) Does this mean that we are to sacrifice to the death? Not necessarily, but the genuine, true best friend, offers (genuinely/truly) to give such (to give all), and make such a sacrifice. If we are a true friend in return, we offer up the same, and we never forget our best friend.
Peace, Blessings, and Joy... That real PB&J!
