"Above all, love each other deeply, because love covers over a multitude of sins"- 1 Peter 4:8 (NIV).
Freedom grows through serving each other in love. All of God's Word is summed up in a single statement, "Love others as you love yourself" (Galatians 5:13-14). We may feel inconvenienced at the time our love for others is called upon, but we feel so good when we choose to be obedient. Jesus told the parable of the two sons: The father told one to go work in the fields. One son said yes, but then didn't go. The other son said no, but went anyway. Which son obeyed his father's will? (Matthew 21:28-31). God gave us free will; don't stagnate the growth of your freedom through misaligned and misused free will. Choose to be obedient in love.
