Christ at Liberty!

 Christ at Liberty

              Sitting here watching a young girl I call my own, as the sun shines down on us creating the perfect day. This moment couldn’t feel any more peaceful. As I watch her teaching her horse liberty exercises. Liberty is when your horse follows your cues without a lead or pressure from tools. When done properly it is a beautiful dance between man and animal. When done wrong it is a disaster and dangerous. You must have a relationship with your animal as well as have trust both ways.

       As I watch her horse follow her based off snaps it all clicks this is like our relationship with God. When we listen and follow his snaps it is a beautiful dance between man and God. If we resist and don’t follow him, it can be disastrous and dangerous.

       It is not easy at the start, first we have to teach the horse what each command means, how they should respond, and what we expect from them. It takes time, repetition, and trust building. The same is true for our relationship with God. We have to learn to lean on his understanding and trust in him. When we start to lean on him, we learn Gods expectation of us.

Slowly, our beautiful dance with God begins and each step, each cue becomes second nature and before we know it our life is dancing in God’s will. Blessings come in so many ways when we do God’s will.
