"The beginning of freedom is knowing where the lines are drawn." — Abraham Kuyper
A picture without a frame is not free from borders, but enslaved to the undefined.
"Art, like morality, consists of drawing the line somewhere." — G.K. Chesterton
Lines will be drawn by someone somewhere. There is no land without lines or lines without lords over them.
John 10:9
I am the door: by Me if any man enter in, he shall be saved, and shall go in and out, and find pasture.
The Lord is the line. The Lord is the door. Pasture is only possible if there is a door. A place without borders cannot be free because it is no longer a place. It is undefined and unrefined. Doors and walls make place possible and only a divine door makes peace and quiet possible.
"And the more I considered Christianity, the more I found that while it had established a rule and order, the chief aim of that order was to give room for good things to run wild." — G.K. Chesterton
Pasture is the place where friends of the good frolic.
Malachi 4:2
But unto you that fear my name shall the Sun of righteousness arise with healing in his wings; and ye shall go forth, and grow up as calves of the stall.
The good Shepherd provides both the pen and the playground.
