Happy Birthday America
It is great to know God continues to bless America. I am blessed to live in the United States of America. I am proud to be among the majority of Americans that still believe and am not ashamed of “In God We Trust.”
What is America? It is a place where I am free to express myself and lift up my voice to God who made the heavens and the earth. Even though a minority in our country seems to get the headlines with their ungodly thoughts and practices, the majority of us live wholesome clean lives and teach our children to do the same.
In this nation of ours I still proclaim Jesus is the sweetest name I know and I am able to share his love freely when opportunity avails. I am happy I can proclaim Jesus as my Lord and Savior and not have to hide to worship for fear of reprisal. It saddens me when I hear from some of my fellow Christians in other lands who fear for their life when they worship and share the gospel of Jesus. Oh, how I wish you had this same freedom today so you and your families could be safe from harm.
I have mission friends in Honduras right now trying to get out of country because of the political unrest they face. Lord protect them today I pray. I don’t know why God has blessed me to me in America, I could be where you are but I continue to praise my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ and want to continue to take advantage of the freedoms I have.
There is an old song I sing “I Wonder Have I done My Best for Jesus.” The second verse says “I wonder have I cared enough for others.” Perhaps that is what today is all about. I want to thank all of you that cared enough to serve in our military and gave some of your life while others that gave all that I might be free. I want to thank all families that sacrificed while these love ones answered the call to see our nation remains free today. You are my heroes!
To the minority who get all the headlines remember you are only able to spout off and live your life style because we as a nation trust in God and as a majority continue to stand for what is ethical, true and right as we seek God for our country. Continue in your ways and you may destroy our freedom as a nation but I for one will continue to lift up the banner and proclaim “One nation under God, indivisible with justice and freedom for all.” Happy Birthday America and I pray “God bless the United States of America.”
REMEMBER
“If we confess our sins he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.” 1John 1:9
