We Remember

The cost of freedom for our country came with great loss… much blood shed for the freedom we walk in each waking day. So many lives lost… all souls that mattered.

We remember.

The cost of freedom for our souls came with great suffering for Jesus as He was beaten and nailed to a tree for our behalf. One life… that defeated death once and for all.

We remember.

“Greater love has no one than this: to lay down one’s life for one’s friends.” – John 15:13

While we live in a “free” country, there are still so many who live in oppression, live in bondage, and are at the hand of violence and terror. Freedom feels like a fairy-tale to those who are held under such evil. So many lives… all souls that matter. Souls that need Jesus and need the love of His people to be the helping hand to set them free. May we always remember… wherever we go, whoever we come in contact with, that there’s a story behind each face we see.

Lord, give us eyes to see as You see. Help us to reach out to those who need Your love. Ears to sit and listen with those who need to talk. A heart that is moved to take action…to show love as Jesus would. Take over our hands and feet that we may represent You well, to a lost and hurting world who desperately needs true freedom – Spiritual freedom for their souls – that only comes from believing in Jesus. May we never forget the cost of the freedom we have in Christ… and may that be what causes us to never stop loving others. In Jesus’ name, Amen!
