Election day yesterday brought out a lot of feelings. I saw the worst and I saw the best in people. People coming together and people splitting a part. I'm convinced the no matter what election outcome, the reaction would have been the same. Some people extremely happy, some people extremely distressed. As far as I'm concerned, the world's going to keep rotating and God will not be limited.
God does not NEED a certain outcome... NO political party is the "Christian Way." God doesn't NEED a political party in order for Him to do His work and for His works to be good. We are NOT a nation defined by one person. A nation IS defined by it's people, both figuratively and literally: "Nation - a large aggregate of people united by common decent, history, culture, or language, inhabiting a particular country or territory."
Come on, people, where do we place our faith? In Country? In family? In the presidency? If we place our faith in ANYTHING of this world, our faith will crumble as easily as the world does. BUT if your faith is BEYOND this world, nothing can touch it; if faith is beyond this world, doubt may come and go as in any faith (and I think any and all doubt should be embraced), but it (doubt) will NOT TOUCH IT (faith). But you have the ability to decide whether your doubt will either rock your faith or push you to a deeper understanding of it by where you choose to place your faith.
Is your faith in God or in things of this world that "represent" God? For a long time I've been hearing that republicans "represent" God and those who are a part of a republican party "represent" the Christian way in going about things. Now, I liked and disliked certain things about BOTH candidates and NEITHER will EVER be a good representation of God and all the things that Jesus stood for because at some point they're going to fail us. Even if they may not fail you, they may fail me and vice versa.
A message to the world: Stop limiting your faith by letting it be represented by worldly things that will only pass with time. Let it be represented by the God who is beyond this world of rust and decay. Only there will we find an unwavering foundation.
A message to our nation: Let our nation be not defined by the abilities or inabilities of a president but by selfless acts of love among our neighbors, promoting peace by use of our lips, hands, and feet.
