Gee I always get emotional with the saying of the pledge of allegiance and the saying of the national of anthem
I see
I know
I recognize
I understand
I am not wearing rose colored glasses:
America has blemishes,has wrongs and has sins
In the past
In the present
And In the future
Yet it has done good
And I am reminded of Christ and church
His bride whose wedding dress
Was blemished and stained with sins and wrongs and crimes
Yet He loved her so much that He gave up His life for her:
Ephesians
5 Husbands, love your wives, as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her, 26 that he might sanctify her, having cleansed her by the washing of water with the word, 27 so that he might present the church to himself in splendor, without spot or wrinkle or any such thing, that she might be holy and without blemish.
And not only that He is faithful to His beloved church….
Likewise I love ❤️ America
As a child of immigrants
First As a christain
As a citizen
As my native born country
As a American
As a Puerto rican 🇵🇷
As a child of immigrants
And As a Hispanic
And I am reminded of these bible verses and I I end with this:
Matthew 22:21 Jesus said “Render to Caesar the things that are Caesar’s; and to God the things that are God’s.”
Romans 13:1 “Let every person be in subjection to the governing authorities. For there is no authority except from God and those which exist are established by God.”
