I was having a hard time figuring out what to write about, because while I wanted to write about the election and the outcome of it, I really had no desire to talk about both parties or their candidates. I wasn't really a huge fan of either of them, so writing a full-out support article for Trump or Hillary wasn't something I could personally do. But after watching the election, and seeing the results (congrats, President Trump), my heart is burdened.

I see hatred, name-calling, and news of new protests whenever I scroll through my social media pages. I see people getting in heated arguments, blaming one another for opinions, and even shunning friends and family due to political sides. This doesn't bring me joy or peace in any sense. It doesn't make me proud of my country or the people who live in it. I'm brokenhearted to see so much hate.

And while the president-elect may not be everybody's favorite man, he's not the sole authority. We worship someone far Greater and much Higher. The One who leads our country has planned out who will lead it since before the beginning of time. He appointed each and every single leader that has come into power in the United States up until now, and has appointed every single leader after Trump. He knows every single hair on your head, who you will marry, how many children you will have, and so on. He has established every single thing under heaven including who was just elected President. So instead of waking up every single day in fear of what is to come, let us lean on the hope that Jesus has already won. If he can defeat death on the cross, don't you think He knows what He is doing in regards to this election? He does, I can promise you that much.

I'm not sitting here saying that I'm completely thrilled that Trump is our President, but I'm also not disheartened about it either, because I know where my hope lies, and Who it lies on. He's the tomb-shaking King. He's the Savior of the world. Let's pray for the salvation of the world. Let's pray that Jesus shines through each and every one of us. I'm telling you right now that the light of Jesus won't be shining if all we are doing is throwing hate.

With a heavy heart, I'm sad to say that I am scared for this nation and the future of the people of America, but I am still hopeful. I know that my inner peace comes from the One who created peace, and who gives it to all who ask. Trump may be President of the United States, but Jesus is King of the universe.

That is where my hope is found.
