In the rebirth of our nation there will be labor pains.
How would we ever be able to physically, emotionally, and fully appreciate getting our country back without the suffering and pains of labor? How could we ever grasp true freedom without realizing we never had it in the first place? Earning it is costing us all, in many different ways, but I can't think of a single thing that could be more worth every single sacrifice. I feel like God has heard us from Heaven, is forgiving our sin, and healing our land--He is doing what He said He would do if we, His people, who are called by His name, would turn from our wicked ways, and seek His face....and I'm pretty comfy in that.
