What's more distressing to me than seeing the way this country has been so maligned and trashed in many ways, is the fact that I wind up in nasty verbal battles with people I would much prefer to have joy-filled encouragements with, as sisters and brothers in the Lord.
I sometimes even cringe if I get a like or compliment on a post, although I'm greatly appreciative, it really means a lot to me and I thank anyone who gives me a tip of the hat like that, bc I don't get much support or encouragement in life in general, barely any from anyone, really, but I'm sure that's my fault, but, so it really does mean alot, even tho I'm trying not to make a big deal of things, and am trying to avoid things like reps and friends lists, etc., for personal reasons....but please know I mean no offense if I avoid that stuff for now....PLEASE know I mean no offense.
But it grieves me when there are divisions in the body, for just about ANY reason. It's just so mind-blowing that so many people who call themselves christian have been so blind to the policies and practices of the left in this country, and the destruction they bring to the nation as a whole, and to the cause of Christ even moreso.
And so, yes, some of us are angry, but maybe more of us SHOULD be.
Jesus said be angry and sin not, neither let the sun go down on our anger. Meaning don't hold a grudge from day to day, settle it before bed, I guess. We're supposed to be people of forgiveness, and Jesus wants us to have unity in His truth with the bonds of peace and love, and His mercies are new every morning.
Personally, lately, I've got a number of 'issues' (ugh, don't like that word) going on in life, am trying really hard not to project worry onto the future, both short and long-term. I know the Lord is on His throne, but right now, these days, I'm really struggling, I don't sense any support, the Lord seems a bit distant, and I can almost hear it now from some 'loving' christians giving me advice like Job's friends. Lol.
So there's more to come, I'm sure, all kinds of things, and maybe some expressions of anger are a coping mechanism to help battle depression that can sneak in.
But I can see what the fundamental transdestruction of America is all about, and if the left continues in power with hillary, things don't look too pretty.
Someone mentioned about those that sacrificed for our right to vote as we see fit. Yes, but I can't help thinking many of them might be rolling over in their graves when they see those very rights being eroded by the left, and it's very frustrating that there aren't more christians standing up to try to stop it, but are actually contributing to it, by voting hillary, or 3rd person, or not at all.
It just seems so cut and dried, if we vote for Trump, we at least take our chances with hope we get some good to come out of it, maybe alot of good, who knows?
Otherwise we get hillary, and pretty much guarantee we won't.
Or at least show me what good you think we'd get, and based on what?
That's all for now. God bless yous with His peace.
