How many of the politicos in office profess to believe in God or Christ? It alarms me that morals go out the window on every level. Christ says we are to imitate Him in our life here on earth. That means love one another. (John 13:34; 1 Peter 1:22; Romans 13:8; 1 John 3:14; Romans 13:9) I could quickly bore you with many more passages to prove my point. Being wrapped up in things without love is what Romans 13:9 is about. Politics cannot be a part of the life of a Christian in the same way it is in government. Not every person in politics is shady, without morals or unloving. But the danger is there and the inaction on things needed to bring the moral standard to the forefront is missing because the love of the brothers and sisters that are our friends and neighbors is missing. I dislike political grandstanding. It leaves a bad taste in my mouth and makes me sick to my stomach. "In God we trust" is what this country was built on. Return to the "of the people, by the people, for the people" instead of "of the special interest by the special interest people" that currently run the government. Bring sanity back. Jesus was not a politician. He was the image of God and as such He loved unconditionally. His promises were the gold standard to be kept and fulfilled. His purpose was for all people to be saved and have eternal life. What most think as politics was simple gift. Believe and all of this is yours. It is not something that can be earned, it is not something you are owed, it is not something you can finagle or trick into being given or pay for. No politics, nothing of special interests can influence the gift of grace that is Christ, the Holy Spirit and God. The End.
This week I am sharing a just finished image of "Winter Children" from Dreams Coloring Art on ETSY. I tried to find it to provide an easy link but was unable to find it again.
The prn in the lower right is a 0.3 Multiliner black pen. The scarf in this image was the tough part of this image to color. There was a lot of fine detail that had to be done. It required multiple breaks to prevent eye strain.
That is it for this week. May the good Lord bless and keep you. Remember to "Always Love The details."
