Where the ego promotes control by fear, the soul promotes freedom in love. (Inspiration Line)
Too many of us are driven by our egos; our pride motivates us to be sure that number one is always prominent. That way we think we have the freedom we all want to have. Unfortunately, to gain that position, we often resort to fear tactics to protect our position. It would be better to let love be the motivator.
You, my brothers, were called to be free. But do not use your freedom to indulge the sinful nature; rather, serve one another in love. (Galatians 5:13)
