There is Hope

As I watch the last couple days unfold I have to say, it has grieved my heart. The uproar over it all, the Facebook arguments, the protests, there are so many despairing people out there right now. As a Christian I know my hope is not in this world, not in an earthly king but in the King of Kings. There are so many though that do not have that same hope. Thus their desperation. Last night I was watching these protests going on and wondering how we can reach out to these people, how can we bridge the gap? Where I landed was that we cannot, but Jesus already did. 

Where do we come in? We have that hope, we have that message to share. Instead of talking politics, how we believe this election may turn out for America's good, we need to be sharing about how God is for their good, if they turn to Him. (Romans 8:31)

No matter where you land politically, if you trust in and give your life to the King of Kings He is for you and your good and your family's good. He is over it all and only He can save (Hebrews 7:25). No human being can be a savior (Acts 4:12). Where is hope in a flawed man or woman? 

We have hope in the Lord, it is hope unlike any other and that is where we need to focus our minds, our hearts and our message. This world is but a vapor, here today gone tomorrow (James 4:14), the time is now. Let's not waste another day. The protesters are right, love does trump hate, lets love one another by sharing the greatest love there is. (John 3:16) (1 John 3:16)
