The Balance of Freedom

Upon the completion of the war, many slaves quickly stated "we live among liberty, but do not have it ourselves." Women also called for changes due to the oppression they were experiencing and the limitations that being a woman during that time entailed.
How wonderful it is to see the Lords hand softening the hearts of western thought and enabling our forefathers to realized that EVERY person deserved the right to be free, and then to see our history slowly evolve toward creating that liberty to theses others who were not yet equally enjoying the fruits of being totally free.
I believe God loves his children and desires each of us to enjoy the freedom to make our own choices so that, as we choose righteously, we become more free, and ultimately more like he is.
