Presidential Election 2012. Barack Obama wins reelection. The morning of Tuesday November 6th 2012 the first thing I did was say a prayer. It went something like this:
"Dear Heavenly Father, Thank you for this day and the blessing of living in the greatest country this earth has ever known. It was no mere accident but your divine hand that created this place. Today a free America elects a President for the next four years, in my heart of heart's I believe Mitt Romney is the best person for the job. I know that my wishes will not always align with the votes of other free men and I will not always get what I want. I also know that you have blessed Man with free will, even if that free will causes us to make mistakes. Regardless of the results of our own choices you still remain Lord. You rule over all of the leaders and kings on earth. I pray that your righteousness infects whoever wins this election. I know that you have a plan for all of us and pray that regardless of Romney or Obama, YOUR will and not mine is done. I pray that America remains in Your favor by its people continuing to choose Love, Charity and Faith and walk with your despite what earthly king rules over them. I finally pray that you will help me, my family and my countrymen walk with Christ through our time here on earth so that we may dwell with him for eternity. You are the way, the truth and the light and give my life to you. Amen."
Obama won the election.
"THESE are the times that try men's souls. The
summer soldier and the sunshine patriot will, in this crisis, shrink
from the service of their country; but he that stands by it now,
deserves the love and thanks of man and woman. Tyranny, like hell, is
not easily conquered; yet we have this consolation with us, that the
harder the conflict, the more glorious the triumph. What we obtain too
cheap, we esteem too lightly: it is dearness only that gives every thing
its value. Heaven knows how to put a proper price upon its goods; and
it would be strange indeed if so celestial an article as FREEDOM should
not be highly rated." ~ Thomas Paine
I will live my life for Christ! I will do the best I can to do the best I can, not to earn salvation but to please my God. Christ has bought and paid for my salvation, it CAN'T be earned. I will try to do good because I LOVE my God...PERIOD. I will fail more often than I succeed BUT I will not quit!
