More on Caution to the Wind
It is not forgetting unconfessed or unrepented from sin, or from whence I have come.
It is not cold disregard.
It is not giving up on improvement.
It is getting free of an unhealthy attachment to a certain type of positive attention and affirmation from others which is mostly rooted in pride.
It is seeing the work of improvement and purification, as God’s doing with my willing cooperation, but that at the same time, His yoke is easy and His burden is light.
It is learning to not be easily offended.
It is learning that I am not abandoned.
It is letting people have the wrong(?) impression of me while seeking to improve my communication.
It is in learning that it is not my responsibility to change things to my way of thinking, but having the freedom to express myself if it seems right to do so.
It is accepting criticism, confrontation, and feedback that may reveal that I’m not as great as I think I am, without utter shame, but with humble gratitude.
Freedom is in rightly understanding and walking in God’s precepts, commandments, and statutes, which are not burdensome, but life-giving.
