What does freedom look like to you? A group of retirees answered in the following ways.

Money to do what I want

Power to do what I want

Confidence to pursue what I want

Time to do what I want

For many people, freedom will always be out of reach. They’ll never have enough money, power, confidence, or time. But it doesn’t have to be that way.

True freedom doesn’t come from our circumstances — it comes from a person — Jesus Christ, who meets all of our needs. Phil. 4:19

He gives us the power to live for his glory. 1 Cor. 10:31

He gives us the confidence to do what he calls us to do. Phil. 4:13

He gives us time to do what he wants us to do. Ps. 139:16

So if the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed. John 8:36 (NIV)
