Today, those of us in the US are celebrating Independence Day.  The marker of the beginning of our great nation.  But there is a greater day in history.  A day that marks true freedom, though not independence.

True freedom is never independence from God.  Rather, it is total faith in and dependence on God.

As we go through this weekend celebrating freedom, let’s not forget the source of true freedom and peace.  May we always live in gratitude of what God has done and the high cost that was paid for our freedom.  And may we always live in the hope of true peace, eternal life, and freedom.

And may God bless us, every one.
