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.

We need to find God, and he cannot be found in noise and restlessness. God is the friend of silence. See how nature - trees, flowers, grass- grows in silence see the stars, the moon and the sun, how they move in silence... We need silence to be able to touch souls.
