Jesus Loves Trump AND Obama

The Bible is pretty clear when it says to love everyone, so why have we decided politicians are not included?

Hey Christians, can we talk abut something for a minute? Just us.

Now, when I say Christians, I am not specifying republican or democrat, black or white, man or woman. I mean those after God's own heart because that is all that really matters here.

In light of what our country has been going through this last year, I think we all need a reminder of who we are and how big our God is.

Galatians 5 says, "You, my brothers and sisters, were called to be free. But do not use your freedom to indulge the flesh; rather, serve one another humbly in love. For the entire law is fulfilled in keeping this one command: “Love your neighbor as yourself.” If you bite and devour each other, watch out or you will be destroyed by each other."

I understand that we all make mistakes. We are human after all. But as Christians, we are held to a higher standard than the rest of the world. Therefore, as cliche as it is, I urge you to think, 'what would Jesus do?" next time you think about getting on Facebook and bashing one of our presidents.

I am not saying you have to agree with everything they say or do, and I highly encourage you to vote and advocate for change. However, you absolutely MUST do everything out of love.

Donald Trump and Barack Obama are both God's creation and are fearfully and wonderfully made in his image, and He loves them more than you could ever imagine. His love for them is unconditionally and everlasting. No matter their beliefs or their choices, their heavenly Father still loves them.

Now, I don't care who you voted for. Pray for Donald Trump and everyone else in Washington because they are leading our country now, and that is a big job for anyone. If God can create America, He can take care of it.

God has a big beautiful plan for America, so it is time we start praying about it more than we post about it and trust our God.

Now, let's go out there and love people they way we have been called to and maybe we will make a difference in the Kingdom.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
