Self-Reliance and Independence

"Independence and self-reliance are critical to our spiritual and temporal growth. Whenever we get into situations which threaten our self-reliance, we will find our freedoms threatened as well. If we increase our dependence on anything or anyone except the Lord, we will find an immediate decrease in our freedom to act."
—L. Tom Perry, "Becoming Self-Reliant"

This is a great quote for today when the American people have just repudiated the current presidential administration, Democratic Party and all liberals who want to make us dependent on them so they can take away our freedoms. 

I love how the prophets and apostles always warn us ahead of things that will be detrimental to us.  This quote was given in 1991 but 25 years later is more pertinent today. We been counseled for decades to be self-reliant.  Now, as we are seeing our freedoms eroded, this prophetic counsel is more valuable than ever.

I'm so happy that the American people still value their freedoms enough to vote in a president who vows to stop the liberal destruction of our country and freedoms. 

That's my two cents.
