12 March came and went. Two years of my life given to the SAF, now it comes back. Freedom is a huge responsibilty. Kenny Luck, in his book Every Man's Battle, once said 'there is no such thing as freedom without responsibilty'. Harsh words for the free man.
I spent the last week asking questions, about my life, about my faith, about sacrifices, about my school later. I was in doubt. I couldn't make sense of what God was doing in my life. I could, like many other young, crazy dudes, go forth and live 'life to the fullest', having being set free from the chains of the army. Except one thing. Except my life, as I eventually realised, is not mine. I will be forever indebted to the cross, to the grace of God, without which I would not have a life to live by. My life, henceforth, is but an imperfect offering to honour that sacrifice.
Freedom is a huge responsibilty. It's a responsibility to remember that your life do not belong to you. It's His.
