Fourth of July – Positive Woman Connection

No matter where you are on the political spectrum, there is one thing most of us can agree on: we need God’s help to restore this nation. This week as we focus on Independence Day, let’s join our hearts together to pray for America. I plan to post a prayer on Instagram and Facebook each day seeking God’s help and guidance for our leaders as well as revival in hearts of the people in our country.

Starting with praise and adoration, I will lead us every morning this week in a prayer for restoration. I hope you will join me. May we be committed to seek God’s forgiveness, help, and favor as we recognize how far we have moved from Him. He is filled with mercy and grace, and is able to do more than we ask or imagine.

Hope you had a Happy Fourth with family and friends. This is a spectacular time of the year! I love the parades, the fireworks, the hot dogs and simply the good ole fun we experience each year! I’m proud to be an American, and Independence Day celebrations are a glorious way to show it. More than that, I’m thankful to be a Christian, and experience freedom in my soul as a result of the sacrifice Christ made for us.

Just as the fireworks light up the night sky, so should our love for the Lord and gratitude to Him shine brightly in this dark world. As Christians, may we sparkle and shine every day of the year with a contagious enthusiasm from within our hearts. My hope is that a dark and dying world will see the sparkle and shine of believers and be drawn to Him.

Jesus said, “Let your light so shine among men that they may see your good works and glorify the Father.” The love, freedom and forgiveness we experience through faith in Christ can be a daily celebration as we joyfully live and love the people around us. Let’s let our love for Him explode in bursts of brightness as we reach out in kindness and good deeds to light the world with the love of Christ.
