Let us see now what is the freedom of the creature, or the termination of its bondage. When Christ shall have delivered up the kingdom to God even the Father, then also those living things, when they shall have first been made the kingdom of Christ, shall be delivered, along with the whole of that kingdom, to the rule of the Father, that when God shall be all in all, they also, since they are a part of all things, may have God in themselves, as He is in all things.(Book I, Chapter 7, Part 5)

I am free. I am also in bondage.

I am free to choose. I often fail to choose.

I generally accept the limitation that circumstance imposes.

I have been invited to a wedding feast.

I allow a dozen distractions to keep me from it.
