Freedom in Redemption

"It is for freedom that Christ has set us free." Galations 5:1
In previous blogs I have mentioned our friend Darby who is currently serving in Uganda (she'll actually be home in a little more than a week!). One of her recent posts testifies to God's beautiful redemption of her struggle with depression. She states, "...it is easy to see a situation and feel hopeless. It's easy to sit and feel angry at God as to why He would let this happen. But the funny part is - this is the part where God brought a little redemption into my life." I am thankful for people like Darby who are brave enough to be the hands and feet of a God who cares to those whom He has placed along her path. It's one thing to look beyond yourself and to see the needs of others but it's quite another to see those needs and to take action. Being proactive takes us above and beyond our comfort zone and throws us humbly down into the dirty work of our God's redemptive Kingdom. Thank you Darby for showing us what freedom in Christ can truly be!
