Hillary did not throw her hands up in despair or bitterness, but instead inspired those who supported her to get involved with public service and fight for what they believe. CNN reported how Clinton finds strength in her religious faith and in the inspiration of her mother who always encouraged her daughter to get back up when she fell down. We all can find strength in our faith in Jesus Christ and in our own parents’ words.
The election may be over, but hope has not been defeated for those who voted for Hillary. We are still one nation under God and there is work to be done. Bitterness, despair and hate should not be on our country’s agenda.
As John F. Kennedy said in his inaugural speech in 1961, “And so, my fellow Americans: ask not what your country can do for you, ask what you can do for your country.”
And as Hillary Clinton advised in her concession speech, we should each get involved in public service in order to make a change. Every one of us can still make a difference. I believe it begins and ends with Jesus’ words, “Love your neighbor.”
