Americans value their freedom, but few of us are truly free. Many times we're weighed down with worries, responsibilities, and a life far from ideal. Often people try to make things better by working harder, accumulating more possessions, or finding people who will love them.


Just this week, for example, a friend that turned her back on me and wouldn't even speak for almost a year, called me. She tried to blame her actions on someone else and said I had done nothing wrong. I didn't hold a grudge, didn't treat her in a similar way she had treated me, and I opened my heart up to her again. I knew right away this wasn't coming from me but Christ working in me. How freeing!
Finding Christ, letting Him have His way in you and with you, is the way to true happiness, true freedom. Let's recognize this today and act on it. On this Fourth of July week, let's help lead our country back to actually being "one nation under God," so that we all can be truly free.
If the Son therefore shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed (John 8:36).
