My Heavy Heart

"The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full." John 10:10

What has you burdened my friend? It could be a host of things and just because you are a follower of Christ does not make you immune to things. 

People can have strong beliefs and opinions  and these strong beliefs, whether scripture based or not,  can create tension amongst family members or friends  who don’t see eye to eye or don’t understand how you can possibly believe or think the way you do. One of the biggest areas is in politics. This past few years has caused immense family bickering and division all because someone does not believe like you and you are convinced you are right and they are wrong so you sort of ignore them and make believe you aren’t family or never had them for a friend. 

The only one winning is Satan. This is right out of his playbook. He comes to kill, steal, and destroy and destruction is what he has been up to lately causing so much heartache in families. If you are caught up in a dispute like this get on your knees and pray. If you are separated from a loved one due to politics keep praying for understanding and restoration. Just cause people don’t think like you doesn’t make them bad and certainly when it is family it is worth fighting for. 

PRAYER: Father help those people struggling to reconcile with loved ones because of political disagreements. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
