Galatians 3 & 4

Paul is pretty much frustrated with the church at Galatia. They keep turning back to the law.
"The law was put in charge of us until Christ came that we might be justified by faith."
"God sent the Spirit to his Son into our hearts, the Spirit who calls our, Abba, Father. So you are no longer slaves, but God's children, and since you are his children, he has made you also heirs."
So much changed when Christ came. I can imagine it was pretty hard for people who spent their whole lives learning the law so just put it down and follow Christ. But that's exactly what Christ calls us to do. "Pick up your cross and follow me." Can't really carry the books of the law if you are trying to carry a cross. [just ask the guys at church who move the communion cross every week!] I don't think I really try to carry the law... What do I try to carry? The Book of Kim {selfishness}... That sounds about right... But there is so much to live for when I'm not living for myself.

Lord, I pray that everyday I pick up my cross and follow You. Not even attempting to pick up "my book" or anything else...
