Our goal is to be completely conformed to God’s will and way for our life.  When, in love, we conform our will to His, then we will be truly free.  There can be no freedom so long as we merely do what we want.  When we do that we discover both emptiness and a lack of freedom.  The freest thing, is to do the will of God, living your life His way and for His higher purpose.

Jesus answered them, “Truly, truly, I say to you, everyone who commits sin is the slave of sin. The slave does not remain in the house forever; the son does remain forever. So if the Son makes you free, you will be free indeed.” John 8:34-36 (NASB)
