None of us can imagine what it fells like to not be free. As we celebrate a day of rejoicing in our freedom, many of us are bound by struggles that keep us from really understanding the refreshing breath of REAL freedom.
We may be bound by drug, alcohol, relationship, job, or no job, and kids, as the list keeps us emotionally and spiritually from really being FREE. I looked up what the word FREE means: "Receiving or enjoying something of value that does not require any monetary outlay of funds or obligation on the part of the receiver"
Well, I guess if you drill down to bottom of this many of us are really not free in this country of freedom. So often we encounter "strings attached" to a gift or relationship with many people.
Yet when I stop and look at my relationship with the Creator of the Universe, I see someone who just wants to be close to you and give you permanent freedom. If you are really free from what the world offers then you celebrate that freedom and want to stay that way. In our daily relationship with the Lord it is in our freedom that we find compassion, love, and admiration in every aspect of life.
Maybe you should really learn to declare your Independence from the struggles of life. You can learn a lot more in a free (yes "free") day of activities on the 3rd - celebrating the 4th - at 5:00 p.m. www.faithpromise.org
I would love for you to declare your independence from the struggles daily life has for you and enjoy what freedom really feels like in your life.
