“Freedom for most people of the world means ‘freedom from’
the absence of malice or pain or suppression. But the freedom that God means
when He deals with us goes one step further. He means ‘freedom to’—the freedom
to act in the dignity of our own choice. What then does it mean to be free?
Freedom means to have matured to the full knowledge of our dangerously many
responsibilities as a human being. We have learned that everything we do, and
even say or think, has consequences. We realize that too long we have believed
that we were victims of circumstances. In the Gospel of John, 8:32, we read the
following: ‘And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.’
Let us always stay close to the loving, caring hand of our Redeemer and our
Savior to find safety and joy.” – Elder F. Enzio Busche
