I wrapped up a week or so ago the best book of the year, If You Can Keep It, by Eric Metaxas. I will feature more details later in my book review posts, but for now, this quote gives you a great look into the book’s central idea.
I had not noticed before reading in the book, that Lady Liberty in New York City, faces outward, carrying her torch high… As if she is a light house, welcoming others toward America and TOWARD LIBERTY and the FREEDOM our great country represents.
As the well known scripture says, “To whom much is given, much is required” (Luke 12:48), American has been given much, and it has been and continues to be our role to serve as a steadfast world leader. A country that represents the greatest character qualities of a Christian, shining our light for others… to help and to serve… And to welcome and enrich lives along the way.
As you celebrate Independence Day this weekend, be grateful to be a part of a country that has been called to SHINE God’s love on our entire world.
