Hey Christians, can we talk abut something for a minute? Just us.
Now, when I say Christians, I am not specifying republican or democrat, black or white, man or woman. I mean those after God's own heart because that is all that really matters here.
In light of what our country has been going through this last year, I think we all need a reminder of who we are and how big our God is.
Galatians 5 says, "You, my brothers and sisters, were called to be free. But do not use your freedom to indulge the flesh; rather, serve one another humbly in love. For the entire law is fulfilled in keeping this one command: “Love your neighbor as yourself.” If you bite and devour each other, watch out or you will be destroyed by each other."
I understand that we all make mistakes. We are human after all. But as Christians, we are held to a higher standard than the rest of the world. Therefore, as cliche as it is, I urge you to think, 'what would Jesus do?" next time you think about getting on Facebook and bashing one of our presidents.
I am not saying you have to agree with everything they say or do, and I highly encourage you to vote and advocate for change. However, you absolutely MUST do everything out of love.
Donald Trump and Barack Obama are both God's creation and are fearfully and wonderfully made in his image, and He loves them more than you could ever imagine. His love for them is unconditionally and everlasting. No matter their beliefs or their choices, their heavenly Father still loves them.
Now, I don't care who you voted for. Pray for Donald Trump and everyone else in Washington because they are leading our country now, and that is a big job for anyone. If God can create America, He can take care of it.
God has a big beautiful plan for America, so it is time we start praying about it more than we post about it and trust our God.
Now, let's go out there and love people they way we have been called to and maybe we will make a difference in the Kingdom.
