Quote by Martin Luther King Jr.

A Christian is a perfectly free lord of all, subject to none. A Christian is a perfectly dutiful servant of all, subject of all, subject to all.

A Christian is a perfectly free lord of all, subject to none

Summary

This quote by Martin Luther encapsulates the paradoxical nature of being a Christian. A Christian experiences true freedom as they are no longer enslaved by sin or worldly desires. They are liberated by their faith in Christ. However, this freedom does not give them permission to live selfishly or disregard the needs of others. Rather, it calls them to voluntarily serve and love others selflessly. In this way, a Christian has the privilege of being both free from earthly constraints and called to be a humble servant to all.

Suffering has its place in the scheme of things. It serves a purpose even though the sufferer may be entirely free from the taint of sin... Among the gentlest and sweetest souls are sometimes found those who suffer much. A person that accepts his lot, does his best, loving both God and man, is a success and will experience a joy in living.

I grew up on a farm in a small town where you do or say one thing and everybody knows about it. You see it happen, there's always the town gossip - 'Oh did you hear about so and so, or did you hear what went on in this household?' So I learned at a very young age just to keep my mouth shut.
