My beloved family and friends, in my time of research for my new book "The Feather and The Sword", I came across this profound quote that resonates LOUD and CLEAR the spiritual condition of America today-- the once proclaiming nation of "IN GOD WE TRUST" needs to fall on its knees and seek God's grace and mercy for the way in which we have forgotten God and the truth that HE IS THE ONLY REASON AMERICA HAS BEEN BLESSED (Both, in the Past and present, and if we expect to continue receiving HIS blessings in our future). Please read and share as you feel led to do so. May God have mercy on this nation -- and may God Bless America once again as we give credit to the One Who Blesses and not the "blessings".
"We have been the recipients of the choicest bounties of heaven. We have been preserved, these many years, in peace and prosperity. We have grown in numbers, wealth and power, as no other nation has ever grown. But we have forgotten God. We have forgotten the gracious hand which preserved us in peace, and multiplied and enriched and strengthened us; and we have vainly imagined, in the deceitfulness of our hearts, that all these blessings were produced by some superior wisdom and virtue of our own. Intoxicated with unbroken success, we have become too self-sufficient to feel the necessity of redeeming and preserving grace, too proud to pray to the God that made us! It behooves us, then to humble ourselves before the offended Power, to confess our national sins, and to pray for clemency and forgiveness."
