Yesterday was Independence Day. Independence - freedom - from what? Soviet rule? Yes. But is Ukraine truly free?

What about me? I want to be free Lord, totally free to live - to love - to be the me You created. Yet those I love the most, I judge. I feel judged by them and I allow negativity to bind me. I listen to selfish desires and the noose tightens. Oh who will free this soul from bondage. God like Asaph in Psalm 73 - give me eternal perspective. Take me into the house of the Lord. Let me understand that in all heaven, I have nothing but You - and for me it is good to be near God.

Oh free me! Let my spirit soar - let my soul rejoice - let my body dance. Independence Day has come.
