He will cover you with his pinions,
and under his wings you will find refuge;
his faithfulness is a shield and buckler.

+ Freedom from Sin

John 8:32-36

and you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.”  They answered him, “We are offspring of Abraham and have never been enslaved to anyone. How is it that you say, ‘You will become free’?”
  Jesus answered them, “Truly, truly, I say to you, everyone who practices sin is a slave to sin.  The slave does not remain in the house forever; the son remains forever.  So if the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed.

Thoughts 

The constant struggle between flesh and spirit will never be finished.  This struggle is eternal and the essence of life.  The purpose of life is loving, the penetration of everything with love.  It is the slow and gradual change from evil to good, it is the creation of the real life, the life filled with love. - Leo Tolstoy
