VIRGINIA BEACH, VA, UNITED STATES, August 21, 2024 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Işık Abla Ministries (IAM) is a global beacon of hope and empowerment led by visionary founder President and CEO Işık Abla, who was featured in The Washington Times' Higher Ground.

In the vast landscape of the world, America stands as a beacon of hope — a place where the tired, poor, and oppressed can find refuge and a chance to build a new life. There is a significant difference between these two forms of patriotism. Healthy patriotism builds, contributes, and adds value to the land one lives in.

As it says in Jeremiah 29:7, “Seek the welfare of the land where I have sent you into exile, and pray to the Lord on its behalf, for in its welfare you will find your welfare.” This verse reminds us that loving and contributing to the well-being of our land benefits everyone.

True patriotism is aligned with righteousness, aiming to elevate the nation through love and service.

America is not without its problems—it faces trials and has a history marked by both triumph and turmoil. America has obstacles to overcome, but when united, we are undefeated. Patriotism is not blind allegiance; it is a deep love for a country that stands for justice, freedom, and protection for people from all over the world.

America’s greatness lies not in its perfection but in its pursuit of progress and justice. Let us be the generation that leaves a legacy of hope and healing, a testament to the enduring spirit of a nation that embraces all who call it home.
