Limitation of one's freedom might seem to be something negative and unpleasant, but love makes it a positive, joyful and creative thing. Freedom exists for the sake of love.

Blessed be the Lord, that hath given rest unto his people Israel, according to all that he promised; there hath not failed one word of all his good promise, which he promised by the hand of Moses his servant.

For which cause we faint not; but though our outward man perish, yet the inward man is renewed day by day.

Accustom yourself continually to make many acts of love, for they enkindle and melt the soul.

Beloved, think it not strange concerning the fiery trial which is to try you, as though some strange thing happened unto you:

And We will surely test you with something of fear and hunger and a loss of wealth and lives and fruits, but give good tidings to the patient.
