Being in this political arena,because George is “running again” puts me in a situation where I’m always asked tough questions. I usually try and respond calmly and respectfully, but sometimes (you know me) it’s hard. Reading this today was very helpful. I want others to see Jesus and love in my heart first and see I’m being led by Him. It’s not all about me or political sides.
At the end of the day, I reflect and I’m at peace because the Lord has it ALL in His hands and whatever happens it’s in His plans. So really there is no need to worry about anything — alleluia !!!
These words from Paul to the Colossians reinforce your thoughts:
"Conduct yourselves with wisdom toward outsiders, making the most of the opportunity. Let your speech always be with grace, as though seasoned with salt, so that you will know how you should respond to each person." Colossians 4:5-6
Thank you, David, for this message. I have been a slow learner but now after turning 74 I have truly appreciated those who are passionate without aggression. God loves all his people and as a Christian I am called to love them also even if we disagree. I am called to look to God for the truth and to strive to be like Christ to be loving and compassionate.
Thanks, David. Appreciate your identification in Christ, saved by grace. Good words, great Spirit. May we be a pleasing aroma to God and to the world!
