I love being an American. We sometimes express dissatisfaction with our country’s leadership or its policies. We might even point to past sins of history and the imperfections we presently observe. But I still believe the United States of America is a great place to live and its principles of democracy and liberty are worth celebrating and pursuing. This weekend, enjoy your freedom. Thank God for it. Ask that He will guide and direct our nation’s leadership and use you and me to shine Christ’s light into the lives of those around us. Like every nation, America needs Jesus.
