Polls

Face  book has become a big part of our lives these days. It is a way to keep in touch with family and friends that are far away. It is no substitute for those that are near. BUT, I think of all these polls that seem to show up daily like: Do you still wish Obama was President? Is Trump a better President? Is Melanie a better first lady? Is Michelle a better first lady? On and on they go. I think they are sent and meant to divide. Pay to all what is owed to them: taxes to whom taxes are owed, revenue to whom revenue is owed, respect to whom respect is owed, honor to whom honor is owed.  Romans 13:7 Then we will get the post of a handicapped person, will you like them. We get the stories on either side of the stand or kneel during the National Anthem. So much of this is meant to divide our nation. No two Presidents will be alike. You will never find another me. Everything God creates is unique. You do not find two trees identical. Sometimes you will see a beautiful animal posted on face book and they are so unique. Everything God creates is unique. Don't expect Trump or Obama or either George Bush to do the same as their predecessors. What we do need to do is honor and show respect for the office they hold. I know I have written many times on Romans 13 which tells us civil authority is ordained by God. Just a few post ago, I listed some scriptures that tell why I believe God gives us each President. Some good, some bad, each has a responsibility to God for how they govern. We have a responsibility to give what is owed them, respect to whom respect is owed, honor to whom honor is owed. Owe no one anything, except to love each other, for the one who loves another has fulfilled the law. Romans 13:8 We owe love to each around us, and we fulfill our obligation to this world as we show love not hate, in our words and actions. If we look back to the protests of Martin Luther King Jr., he did not come to divide but to unite. Love showed through in his actions and his words. Love for each other, not just his own race but to all man kind. Jesus died for all. Their is no partiality with God. He loves us all and we need to follow his example.  Are we spreading division and conflict with our words and actions, or are we peace makers? I hate these polls that we see almost every day. They are meant to divide and not to show love and respect and honor. Think about it. The absence of heat is cold. the absence of light is dark. The absence of God is evil. We need God and to show his love. God is not the author of hate or division.  He sent Jesus for all of us. Greater love has not man than this to lay down his life for others. Jesus showed the greatest love of all when he submitted to the authorities of the land and was crucified for our sins. We owe love, respect, honor, are you paying what you owe?  Do you post things that promote peace or division? I hate these face book polls, I believe they are meant to divide.  God bless, LVZ.
