So, what is the characteristics of a person of freedom? Here are some, according to my simple thoughts.
- He has no fear of telling or acting based on the truth. Truth is a safe haven.
- He enjoys the confidence and dignity as a citizen of his nation. He shows no signs of inferiority in front of foreigners. He is proud of his nation eventhough it's not flawless.
- He believes that what he does and says always affect other people's life, little or much.
- He is fully responsible for his deeds and speeches. Blaming others is not his style.
- He values honesty and integrity as the most important qualities one needs to acquire.
- His desire is to give more and more, not to gather and collect as much as he can for himself. Greedy is not found in his dictionary of life.
- He is open to critics and appreciates corrections. He hates yes-men but he loves friends who rebuke with love. Nevertheless, he can respond wisely to insults.
- He clings to the principle that his destiny is in his hand by the will of God. If possible, he won't let anyone makes a decision for him.
- He pays respect to others but it doesn't mean he always agree with them. He is not hesitant to present his thoughts from his point of view.
- His belief is that he can do nearly anything if only he wants to do it badly enough. He is not a friend of timidity and is not easily intimidated.
- He believes to the potential of himself and his fellow people.
There is no other way to become a truly free person than by becoming a true servant of God everyday.
