Today I found out that the president of the United States declared to the world that we do not consider ourselves a Christian nation. He said we are a nation of citizens. Words cannot express how deeply painful it is to me to realize just how far we have fallen away from Christian values as a nation in just my lifetime. And now we have our president declaring it. We know from the scriptures that this nation is a promised land: one that will be blessed and protected and free as long as we serve the true and living God, Jesus Christ. If we are not righteous, we will be swept off when we are fully ripe. We know from history that this has happened several times before.
Today I declare to the world my witness that Jesus Christ lives. He is the Son of God and the Savior of the world. I stand in awe of His love and sacrifice and His infinite long suffering and patience with me and with all the world. It baffles me how we can turn our backs on the one who gave the ultimate sacrifice for us, the one who created us! Oh how I love Him! How many times will we reject our Savior? Have we learned nothing from the past?
I pray for this nation and the leaders of it. I pray we will repent and return to our God. I, for one, know He lives and I love Him with all my heart. I feel His love in my daily life. All that I have comes from Him, even the air that I breathe. How can we reject the very being who gives us life?
i second everything that you said!! i KNOW what you wrote is true. i LOVE my Savior, and know that without Him, i have nothing. and worse than that, nothing to look forward to. WITH Him, though, life is FABULOUS, and gets better all the time. I'm ashamed of President Obama and what he sd about our great nation. we DO have some repenting to do, but i don't think he spoke for the majority. i pray that's not the case.
ReplyDeleteI hope you are right about Obama not speaking for the majority. Thank you so much for your comment. It gives me hope to think there are many good people out there trying to follow Christ.
ReplyDeleteI agree with you as well. I fear for our nation as people continue to turn their backs on the Savior. I do not believe President Obama's assertion that we are not a Christian nation and pray that our leaders will turn to God for counsel and direction. I love Jesus Christ and appreciate all that he has done for me personally and for every soul that has lived or ever will live on this earth.
