Jesus' words make me feel loved and equal.  No longer do I need to compare myself with others as "better than" or usually, "less than".  No longer do I feel that I have to buy my way into Heaven with charitable/volunteer works.  Now I do those things with no expectations or concern that I must do more to be accepted and loved by God. 

I am free to continue to expand my personal relationship with our Lord and Savior as one of God's children......equal in His eyes.  I am free to try to live my life as Jesus taught us without the feelings of not being good enough or worthy of His love.

Now that......is freedom!
