America was great. It was never perfect, but no one every is (except Jesus Christ). But if you read an account of early America by the Marquis deLayfette, you will see a great civilization working toward the ideals encoded in the Declaration of Independence which says “All men are created equal and endowed by their Creator with certain inalienable rights, among these are Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.” We are still dealing with people who think some are not worthy of these things—back then it was slaves, and now they believe it is babies in the womb and increasingly whites and Christians.
Many of us fall into a slippery trap of thinking if someone is flawed, then they are not worthy. So we say this about our country—“Oh it’s always been bad, therefore we hate it. Get rid of it.” But that is how they destroy a nation from within. Acknowledge the problems, see how people work to fix them, allow God to heal and follow His ways and His Justice and a nation will flourish.
