As much as this is an awesome achievement worth celebrating, it will also be good to note that there isn’t a human on earth who is living in an independent and free country who hasn’t at one time or another been discontented, distressed, or in pain. Interestingly the Independence celebration was within the Easter holiday. This got me reflecting that true abiding freedom and independence is only found in Jesus Christ. He came to save all those who are perishing in this world. Faith in Jesus Christ completely liberates. <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal style='margin-bottom:0cm;margin-bottom:.0001pt;text-align:justify;line-height:115%'><span style='font-size:12.0pt;line-height:115%;font-family:"Georgia",serif;background:white'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal style='margin-bottom:0cm;margin-bottom:.0001pt;text-align:justify;line-height:115%'><span style='font-size:12.0pt;line-height:115%;font-family:"Georgia",serif;background:white'>But life can still be difficult, even as born-again believer, life is what will be happening to us whilst we are making other plans. Despite the challenges that want to surround and overwhelm us and the despair of others in the same boat, you and I have a choice. We do not have to cave to the pressure. Even if left completely alone you can turn to God and encourage yourself in His faithfulness. David encouraged himself in the “I AM” the One who said He would never leave us or forsake us. He turned his thoughts, his words, and his heart toward God. He didn’t meditate on the problem, he meditated on the answer. <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal style='margin-bottom:0cm;margin-bottom:.0001pt;text-align:justify;line-height:115%'><span style='font-size:12.0pt;line-height:115%;font-family:"Georgia",serif;background:white'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal style='margin-bottom:0cm;margin-bottom:.0001pt;text-align:justify;line-height:115%'><span style='font-size:12.0pt;line-height:115%;font-family:"Georgia",serif;background:white'>It takes soaking up the Word of God daily for us to be completely liberated. When our lives reflect Christ, it will be evident after we have spent time with Him, because we will manifest His glory. The light will shine brightly for all to see. People need to see Christ in us, the hope of glory, for them to want Him. Similar to the way the world desires the peace Zimbabwe has, we should want those who do not know Christ to say, “I want whatever it is that you have”. Decide today that no matter what may come, or who may come against you, you continue to encourage yourself in the Lord and be the light of the world. Let’s shine our lights and pour out some salt on those who need to taste and see that the Lord is good.</span><span style='font-size:12.0pt;line-height:115%;font-family:"Georgia",serif'><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal style='margin-bottom:0cm;margin-bottom:.0001pt;text-align:justify;line-height:115%'><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal style='margin-bottom:0cm;margin-bottom:.0001pt;text-align:justify;line-height:115%'><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal style='margin-bottom:0cm;margin-bottom:.0001pt;text-align:justify;line-height:115%'><b><i><span style='font-size:12.0pt;line-height:115%;font-family:"Georgia",serif;color:#222222;background:white'>Gerald is an astute business leader, strategic marketer by profession and a motivator by calling.
