God show us the way....

As I sit here watching the news of our new president my heart wells with tears. I am not entirely sure why there are tears. I think I am profoundly touched by the enormous process we go through to pick a president, the freedom we actually have to exercise. Both of the candidates had things I agreed with and disagreed with, how to pick a candidate when they aren't perfect. Who is perfect anyway except One? So many topics to cover and so many issues to deal with. Where do we go from here? 

Now is the time to embrace the moment at hand. Celebrate the historical moment, really take it in. It is also the time for the Church, the body of Christ to stand up. Put your energy, your strength, your money, your life where your mouth is. If you want to save babies from abortion then get out there and find that pregnant woman/girl and offer some help and hope. Don't just sit there and worry about the laws, make a difference in that one woman who needs your help. If everyone found one woman who was struggling with her decision and loved her to the core we might actually see a difference made.  Don't get me wrong laws are needed, but no can take away our ability to love and to show hope except ourselves.  There is One who can make changes to our country if we the people will step in and say "show me the Way". 

There is no time like the present  for the bride of Christ to make a difference in the world. People are hurting, hungry, scared, worried, losing hope. Stand up, reach out, give the Hope and the Love that Jesus has given you. Jesus  is not bound by politics, not ever. He is still on the throne, still loves his children, still calls to all who will listen. Body exercise your limbs, open your eyes, let your heart be moved to .........
