INDEPENDENCE

July 4th 1776 was the day that the United States of America,  although the states were not united yet, declared it's independence from the British Empire. The British,  many years before becoming a bast empire that never saw the sunset,  became independent from the Roman Empire.  It was around the year 409 AD when the Brittons expelled all the Roman magistrates from their cities.  A thousand years before,  500 BC, the Romans became independent of the Etruscans.

We could continue this tale of  independence to the beginning of time. I believe that freedom is the most undervalued gift man can ever receive. To be able to say what we want, to believe what we want. A freedom that has cost blood sweat and tears. But the true tyrant is not the past empire nor the next. It is the evil in man's heart. What an awesome thing to know that God gave his only son to give us true independence,  a new and righteous heart.

Happy 4th of July,
