Time to Move on.

Ephesians 4:32
32 Instead, be kind to each other, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, just as God through Christ has forgiven you.


Now that the election is over with, and the results have flooded the media for the last week, it's time to move on especially if you are not in favor of Obama. It can be so easy to be stuck on the little things in life that leave us at a standstill. We can be joyful or frustrated and no matter which boat we're in, we can get carried away.

A big factor that comes into the election is the fact that Obama is black. Racism is a big no-no and the bible says so. Let's break it down here...

What if someone told you they didn't like you because of your color? How would you feel? You'd most likely want to change that around and make them think more highly of you. Plus, you would defend yourself by saying that no one is exactly the same.

This whole idea may sound cliche, but bear with me here...Despite differences, we all are similar too in that we eat, drink, breathe, and sleep. We have emotions. Our appearance shouldn't make us any less human.

Why do you think people appear to be different? God created it that way, so it's obvious he wanted it to be that way. If you discriminate, you are insulting God's creation. A person doesn't have any control in their color and they can't change it just because someone goes up to them and comments on their color.

If God created a variety of people which you don't like, does this mean you are against him? Think about it.

Obama's color doesn't make him any less important. It is possible to restore our country under him. Pray to God that Obama will make wise decisions.

“Let us all hope that the dark clouds of racial prejudice will soon pass away, and that in some not too distant tomorrow the radiant stars of love and brotherhood will shine over our great nation with all their scintillating beauty.” ~Martin Luther King Jr.
