Freedom isn't Free!
I don't know about you, but I have always believed that the United States of America is the greatest place to live. The home of the brave and the free! People from all over the world desire to come here. In America we can dream big dreams, set our goals and move toward our God-given purpose! Of course, it takes hard work and determination, but while were moving toward these dreams we can give more, do more, and serve more. Today, examples of these individuals armed forces, nurses and police officers etc. This freedom has never been free! From the beginning of this great country people have put their lives on the line as a result of wars, disasters or because of a local fire etc. In World War II a fellow combat soldier died on top of my father in a foxhole, which left him struggling and tormented with mental illness the rest of his life. Freedom isn't free! Americans have always put themselves in harm's way, or have given generously to serve their fellow Americans. America is not perfect, but I have always been inspired by the American spirit to move forward in face of adversity. Freedom isn't free! These days with so much political division, are we able to serve others or are we stuck in hate-it is easier to hate, but it's better to serve. Are you creating unity with love or division with detest? Unity is production and division is destruction. I believe we need to humble ourselves and pray for wisdom for those in authority. Praying for others is an act of love especially when our feelings tell us otherwise. John 15:12
My command is this: Love each other as I have loved you. This very Scripture has been woven into America's very fiber. Freedom isn't free-there are forces out there that would want you to believe it is, but that's a lie. Someone paid the price. Go with love and serve to keep our freedom-because freedom isn't free! Jesus gave his life so we could be free. the ultimate sacrifice of love.
2 Corinthians 3:17
Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom!
This is a greater freedom! What decision are you making right now concerning the freedoms you have been given? Memorial Day is a time to reflect on all those in the US Military that gave their life, so we can be free.
Greater love has no one than this: to lay down one's life for one's friends.
John 15:13
