Pope John Paul II once rightly stated, “Freedom consists not in doing what we like, but in having the right to do what we ought.”
May we seek to live self-less lives, and use this gift of freedom not on ourselves, but for the glory of God and the benefit of others!
“From everyone who has been given much, much will be demanded; and from the one who has been entrusted with much, much more will be asked.” – Luke 12:48

“You, my brothers and sisters, were called to be free. But do not use your freedom to indulge the flesh; rather, serve one another humbly in love.” ~ Galatians 5:13
Each July 4th, The United States collectively celebrates its freedom.
That freedom, which this nation so passionately protects, is one that gives each person the right to act, speak, or think as they want without hindrance or restraint.
However, that freedom is a gift from God and was not meant to be spent on ourselves that we lead lives of self-indulgence, but that we lead sacrificial lives for the Glory of God and the benefit of others.
Pope John Paul II once rightly stated, “Freedom consists not in doing what we like, but in having the right to do what we ought.”
Each of us who have enjoyed the freedom which this nation affords us, will one day be held accountable for it.
