I rarely speak about my political beliefs.
At the end of the day, it’s not about me, my party affiliation, or who won or who didn’t win the presidential election.
And for the record: No, I’m not a fence-sitter, a wimp, or a lukewarm patriot.
Who am I?
A believer (Romans 10:9, 10)
A victor (1 Cor 15:57)
A truth-seeker (John 4:24)
A freedom-lover (2 Cor 3:17)
A mercy-getter (Eph 2:4-10)
A sojourner (Psalm 23:1-6)
A winner! (John 3:16, Rev 22:12-14)
I’m also a wife, a mom, and a proud American. I love God, country, hearth, and home.
I’m saddened by sin. I abhor injustice. I remain encouraged because I know the end of the story.
Simplistic, yet true.
And yesterday, today, tomorrow, or next year it isn’t going to matter who we voted for or which candidate won the election. Not really.

Politicians will continue to theorize, strategize, monopolize, and legalize the same matters they always have.
The world will continue to spin.
There will still be hunger.
A broken economy.
An imperfect system.
Eroded values.
Dilemmas.
Lawlessness.
Cruelty.
Heartache.
Injustice.
Violence.
Death.
But one day…
One glorious, anticipated, yet unexpected day…
There will no longer be elections, presidents, robo calls, or party lines.
Divisiveness will end.
We’ll have a King.
Perfection will reign.
His name is
Jesus.
******
What makes you feel patriotic?

Amen! Until then, we will pray.

Patti, yes.
Great post, Cynthia. I’m more of a fight-for-the-best candidate kinda gal, but when/if he/she loses, let it go. I’m a firm believer that God has a reason and a plan much bigger than we can see.
That said, I’m hoping the whole Israel situation doesn’t quickly go downhill–I think that’s the line in the sand for many Americans.

Heather, nothing that happens is a surprise to God. I think that’s what keeps things in perspective for me. I vote my moral convictions according to biblical principals. So thankful that God is in control and not man.
