There’s nothing more restrictive than being put in a box! You can’t move for a start, and your freedom and individuality has seemingly been taken away. In life it is important to not allow others to determine who you are or what you should be. Society and people in general are quick to stereotype us; we must conform, fit in, to be what they think we should be. Then we realize, I’m not being myself, I’m living a life according to what others expect me to be… BREAK FREE!

Putting this in a Christian context, have we put God and his Son in a box. We go to church, say a prayer and leave it at that, or maybe a brief daily reading of the Bible. But we have put confines around God, just to suit our own priorities. The result is this, He cannot release us into our true freedom and potential.

We need to let God move in our lives; this is why he has called us into fellowship with his Son Jesus Christ. The Greek word koinonia, gives the idea of being in partnership with him, we are an associate, a companion of Jesus.

This fellowship with Christ is so much more than just a relationship. It is meant to be a dynamic unity where Jesus lifts us out of a life of mediocrity. The last thing he would want for us, is to feel boxed in, unable to flex our individuality.
He has exciting plans for our individual lives, a future which is uniquely us!
