MIND

I beseech thee (Philemon) for my son Onesimus...

whom I have sent again: thou therefore receive

him... But without thy mind would I do nothing:

that thy benefit should not be as it were of

necessity but willingly.

Philemon 10,12a,14

Meditation

Do I encourage others to make up their minds freely, or have I

developed a habit of making subtle or not-so-subtle demands?

Affirmation

Freedom of mind is in Christ Jesus.

Prayer

Forgive me Father, through you son Christ Jesus, for the demanding pressures

I have put on others to do my will. Help me aspire to a greater freedom in you.
