God created us with freedom. A gift that sets us apart from all other creatures. Yet freedom is never meant for self-indulgence; it calls for responsibility and right use.

St Paul reminds us that true freedom is not doing whatever we want, but choosing to serve righteousness rather than sin. Our bodies, our time, our talents; all these are instruments. They can either glorify God or serve selfish ends.

Even in retirement or rest, our mission continues: to live in a way that brings glory to God. Every act, every choice, every moment is an opportunity to ask, does this glorify Him?

Reflection Question: How do I use the freedom and gifts that God has given me? Do they lead others closer to Him, or do they serve only myself?
