I try to stay in the middle! I try to carefully NOT say anything that might cause me to lose a friend or neighbor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I\u2019m not looking to pick a fight or rock the boat \u2014 especially when it comes to politics, friendships, or fragile family group texts. I want to be like Jesus: full of grace and truth, extending love to all, even those who mocked, betrayed, and misunderstood Him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
But here\u2019s the thing \u2014 the noise is getting louder. The criticism, the sarcasm, the bitterness aimed at our president? It\u2019s hard to ignore. And while I won\u2019t raise my voice in anger or point fingers in return, I will speak what\u2019s on my heart — with kindness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Our president doesn\u2019t take a salary. He could be living in ease \u2014 golf days, no late nights, no storm of hate mail or public scorn. But instead, he carries the weight of the nation on his shoulders. He\u2019s a four-hour sleeper, a tireless worker, and whether you agree with every policy or not, he shows up. Day after day. For the people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I believe God placed him there. Not because he\u2019s perfect \u2014 no man is \u2014 but because God works through willing hearts. And I see a man willing to keep showing up when the world keeps shouting down.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Romans 13:1 says, \u201cLet everyone be subject to the governing authorities, for there is no authority except that which God has established.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
So no, I won\u2019t silence others who disagree \u2014 this is still America. But I will choose a different tone. One of respect. One of gratitude. One of prayer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Let\u2019s not be so busy pointing fingers that we forget to fold our hands and pray.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Let\u2019s be people who build bridges, not burn them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
And let\u2019s remember \u2014 we\u2019re called not to win arguments, but to win hearts. That\u2019s where the real difference begins.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
You don\u2019t have to agree on everything to pray with honor and speak with grace. Let\u2019s be bridge-builders in a world full of shouting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
