Be completely humble and gentle; be patient, bearing with one another in love.
(Ephesians 4:2, NIV)The current political climate is right from the enemies playbook. Family members accusing other family members of being morons because of who they chose to vote for. Facebook turning into a boxing match if you dare show support for a particular candidate.My brother and sister when will the bickering stop? Only the Holy Spirit can change a person’s heart and arguing about politics only drives a wedge between relationships.Why not purpose in your heart to not hate and not to intentionally stir up ugliness. All sorts of rhetoric has gone back and forth by people trying to prove their point. Allow God to use you to draw others closer together not to divide and when attacked verbally to forgive even if not asked to. Matthew 5:44 says”But I say to you, Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you.” I feel it is a good practice to not be putting this on social media. If you have to post something why not something cheery? Now go out and intentionally have a blessed day.PRAYER: Lord I want to be seen as a peacemaker not an agitator. I forgive anyone who has hurt me knowingly or unknowingly by misspoken words or Facebook drama. Help me stay closer to you by getting into the word first thing daily. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
