They wanted us to understand that God unconditionally loves and forgives us and that nobody is unworthy of our compassion or beyond the redemptive power of God’s grace. It’s been said that God’s grace “is getting what we don’t deserve, and not getting what we do deserve.” Growing up around the trustees taught me a life-changing lesson about grace. I have since made it a point to focus on people’s good qualities, and not dwell too much on their flaws—we all have them.
One of the most important things about being a Christian is recognizing that God loves us no matter what. Nothing we do can ever change the fact that God loves us unconditionally. Only by recognizing this beautiful truth about God’s love for us—to the point of His Son’s death on the cross—can we find it within ourselves to love others unconditionally as well. America is divided, and we must look to God and start loving and forgiving each other—particularly those who don’t deserve it. None of us deserve God’s love either but He loves us anyway.
Men and women had fought and died and given everything for our country, and to be an American citizen is a blessing from God.
Millions of people all over the world would do just about anything to be an American, a privilege many of us all too often take for granted.
