Happy 4th of July beautiful people! I hope your celebrations have been fun! 😊 … and safe. 😊
In this episode, I want to touch on the topic of freedom. What is it? How do we view it? Are there different views or types of freedom? If so, is one valued more than another? Do we hold the correct view of freedom? What does it mean to us as Americans to be free? What about our Biblical view of freedom? Is there a difference in these 2 types of freedoms? Do we celebrate or maybe consider one type of freedom as more important than another? Lots of things to think about. The older I get, or maybe I should say, the more I come to know God and His word, the more I see my view on this topic may need to be adjusted some, It definitely has been adjusted some, but there's ALWAYS room to grow. 😊
I am truly thankful for my freedom. … for my freedom because I live in a free nation, and for my freedom found in Christ. Both are important to me. I believe at times though, we place one above the other, kind of getting things out of balance. Yes, my freedom of speech is important, my freedom from a tyrannical government is important, but my freedom in Christ comes above all else.
My freedom in Christ allows my joy to overflow NO MATTER THE CIRCUMSTANCE.
My freedom in Christ provides a hope that goes beyond ANYTHING my government can offer.
My freedom in Christ cannot be taken from me no matter my physical location.
Do I desire the freedom I have because I live in a free nation? ABSOLUTELY! I LOVE MY FREEDOM and am so thankful I was born in America. MANY nations do not have the freedoms we do. And I'm thankful for ALL who have fought for the freedoms I have. Some gave it all so that I could live free. Can words express the "thanks" owed to them and their families? Probably not. "Thank you" seems like such a small response. We can honor and respect those who CHOOSE to serve. That is a good place to start. What a beautiful sacrifice they are willing to make. Standing up, protecting, fighting for people they don't even know. Yes, I am thankful for my freedom provided by these men and women.Â
