The amount of self-hate Americans have towards their own history is truly unreal.
They defeated slavery by fighting against their own family.
They shut Europe out of the western hemisphere so that nations wouldn't live under colonization forever.
They had the ability to stay out of world war 1 but they went and died to help Europeans.
They had the ultimate power in the nuclear bomb. They also had access to all of Europe's colonies that were in shambles. But instead they promoted freedom. They rebuilt Japan and Germany after defeating them in war. They stood down the Soviet Union, even as the world jeered them.
They sent soldiers to places like Vietnam and Afghanistan that died TRYING to create a better world (even if you disagree with those wars, the intentions were fairly good)
And they sent more missionaries to the world than maybe any other country in history. Translated more Bibles into indigenous languages than any other country in history. Ran bigger charities than any other country in history. Created more Christian resources than any other country in history.
Whether it was stopping the Dutch from reconquering Indonesia to the Berlin Airlift to giving Cuba its freedom in the Spanish-American war to saving China from the Japanese America has at least ATTEMPTED to do good with its power.
Yes yes, America has problems. People are imperfect. But goodness gracious does the world have a lot to be grateful for in America. And when we could have taken SO much from the world we have often chosen not to. Rome, Britain, Mongols, Assyrians, Soviets, Chinese, no other group has ever shown the restraint America has consistently shown with such vast power at its fingertips.
We didn't even get into the GIGANTIC technological advances, consumer advances, convenient lifestyle changes America has pioneered. From electricity to space to the light bulb to the smart phone to many cures in medicine and agriculture to the airplane the world has been enormously blessed by America.
Satan can’t kill God.
So instead, he targets children.
In the womb (abortion), and out of it (transgender “healthcare”).
Ever wonder why the catchphrase for abortion is “my body, my choice”?
Watch this 👇🏻👇🏻👇🏻
Christ showed me that the worst thing that can happen to you might be the point of you. that God does not rescue his favorites he ruins them in front of everyone. and the people who loved you will stand at a distance and they cannot help and they are not supposed to help and this is also part of it. and you will ask why and the sky will say nothing and the nothing is the answer. the nothing is where faith lives. and he hung there and the father looked away and the looking away was the gift because if God had watched he would have stopped it and if he had stopped it you and i would still be dying without a door
