Freedom

I have on my table a violin string. It is free. I twist one end of it and it responds. It is free. But it is not free to do what a violin string is supposed to do—to produce music. So I take it, fix it in my violin and tighten it until it is taut. Only then is it free to be a violin string.

-Sir Rabindranath


Are you in place? In the correct place? Sure, you're free to do whatever you like. If you are not in the will of God in your purpose in life. You are free, but not free to do what you were created to do. That's why there is an emptiness, a void in your life. You can put whatever vice in it that you like but it would never fill that hole. Why not? That hole is the size of God. The Bible puts it this way in I Cor 10:24, "Everything is permissible"--but not everything is beneficial. "Everything is permissible"--but not everything is constructive..."
