Have you ever considered what makes our nation, or a person truly independent?  Simply stated, it is choosing to be “dependent” on the right things.  The only reason the United States has ever been a successful nation of freedom is because we were a nation founded and formed on dependence on God.

No human being is truly independent. But healthy people recognize their need for foundations and support and find them in life with God, through the humble and manifest love of Jesus Christ.

Today, this weekend, celebrate with me how God has given us so much freedom as we have been a nation that has found truth and justice in the love and favor of God, through Jesus Christ. I know there is still a lot of room for growth, but let’s thank the Lord for what we have first, then go on from here.  Happy Dependence Day!
