Could this be me? You?

Have you ever wondered if you are as free as you could be? Have you ever wondered if something you think frees you to be the you you need to be is really holding you back from who you are called to be? A couple months ago I ran across a couple images that made me begin to ask these questions:

These images made me ask, is this technology that I have become so immersed it created a sort of prison that I am enslaved to now? It is easy to become distracted from our calling to be rooted in God's love and to live our lives accordingly. It is also easy to forget that we were once slaves to sin, but brought to freedom through the blood of Christ. Over time, if we aren't constantly on guard, we can find ourselves slipping the cuffs back on, gladly accepting slavery to someone or something other than Christ. What is it for you?

"Don’t you know that when you offer yourselves to someone as obedient slaves, 

you are slaves of the one you obey—whether you are slaves to sin, which leads to death, or to obedience, which leads to righteousness?"

- Romans 6:16, NIV
