Enough is enough! I don’t know about you, but I am so tired of politics. Instead of explaining issues, all we hear are criticism of others and demonization of the opposition. That kind of talk, and that level of negativity does not win my vote.
God did not create us to behave like that. God is love and expects us to love one another. Romans 5:8 says, “but God shows his love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.” Imagine that. While we were rejecting Him and going our own way, God still loved us enough to sacrifice His own Son so that we may live. Jesus willingly gave up His life to make a way for us to know and share in the love of God.
I John 4:11-12 says, “Beloved, if God so loved us, we also ought to love one another. No one has ever seen God; if we love one another, God abides in us and his love is perfected in us.” Let’s put away all this anger toward others. Let’s accept God’s love for us and ask Him to love others through us. Let’s put aside hostility and magnify love. Love will put an end to senseless killings, open hostility, and shameless selfishness.
