I asked myself, what is the one thing that every human being has a passionate desire for? After contemplating this question and searching my own soul, I found the answer to be freedom. From the day we were created and born into this world our hearts have beaten to the tune of freedom. Can you hear it?

What is freedom? What does it mean to be free? We live in the United States of America; the land of freedom and opportunity. We have the freedom of speech, the freedom of religion, the freedom to come and the freedom to go. But is our freedom being taken from us, or maybe a better question, “Can our freedom be taken from us?” All that America has to offer in the land of the free has come with a price, a price that cost many their lives. Fighting to be free, isn’t that interesting. We will fight to the death for our freedom. I believe the reason many are willing to sacrifice their life to be free is because our Creator placed this passion and desire for freedom deep within the heart of every living soul. Thomas Jefferson wrote in the Declaration of Independence in 1776: “We hold these truths to be self evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.” Our founding fore fathers knew what they were talking about. Our yearning for freedom is a powerful drawing force. Freedom stirs in our souls like a fire that cannot be quenched. We are determined to have freedom no matter the cost. Give me Liberty or give me death was the words of Patrick Henry. Patrick Henry realized that Freedom is worth dying for, he had concluded that if he couldn’t be free alive then he would be free in death.
With a man’s last dying breath freedom’s heartbeat will not be silenced it will beat louder still. In death the heartbeat of freedom is now united with the heart of its Creator. God is the Author and Creator of Freedom’s heartbeat. When our heart is united with God’s they will beat as “ONE”. Come what may nothing and or no one will ever be able to silence the Heartbeat of Freedom, for it is the Heartbeat of God and it never dies! Freedom’s heart is still beating, can you hear it?
