politics

i was thinking earlier today about politics. i dont know much about them. my family never talked about politics but as i have grown older i have decided my own political views.

i remember right after Obama was elected president all these christians were posting on the internet, things about how God has forgotten his people, and how much trouble we are going to be in for having Obama as president.

but i must ask my fellow christians, Where does your hope come from? does it come in the form of man or in form of the Holy Spirit? We are a group of people that was formed on faith, hope and love. Where is that mentality? God has not forgotten his people, his people have forgotten Him.

God chose Moses and person no one who have chosen to lead his people to the promised land. But he did it, it took him awhile (about 40 years) but they made it! it wasnt easy, but nothing ever is. He also chose Peter to be the rock of the church, Peter denied his best friend Jesus when Jesus needed him the most. But Peter was still looked on with favor.  

I feel this is one of those times, like when you see children throwing a tantrum in the grocery store and the parents just sit back and wait it out before they continue their shopping excursion. I feel like God does that a lot for his people. He listens to us bitch and moan and throw and tantrum and waits for us to finish before moving forward. God is a gentleman and never pushes himself on anyone, so he waits, lovingly. 

Another political hot topic in the news is Gay Marriage. I fully support Gay marriage. If two people regardless of their gender love each other and want to commit their lives to one another, who are we to say that they can't? The greatest commandment is to love the Lord your God with all you heart soul mind and strength, and to love our neighbors as ourselves.( Mark 12:30-31) Nowhere is God specific on who our neighbor is. I know in my heart it is EVERYONE! we are to love everyone like we love ourselves. it doesnt matter if they are black, white, gay, straight, man , woman it doesnt matter. Love love LOVE! it is all about love!

if you feel it is right to banned gay marriage, great! you are entitled to feel that way. everyone has their own opinion. i dont feel it is right to put discrimination into the constitution. i feel our children or grandchildren are going to be embarrassed of us, just as some people are embarrassed of their grandparents with strong racial views. 

if i have said it once i will say it again. it is all about love. love yourself, know who you are and whose you are. you are loved, adored , chosen by the creator of the universe and looks on us with love. there is nothing we can do to make him love us less. we are called to love. love is good. it is a true and pure way to be close with the creator.
