PEACE

Lord, make us instruments of Your peace

The elections are nearly over. The next President of the United States of America has been voted into office, both with the Electoral College, and with the popular vote. Not all are happy with the results. Many are in distress, angry, frustrated, and filled with despair. For those who voted for the current leadership change, we only need to remind you of how you felt four years ago. With a change in leadership within the powers of authority in our great Nation, many course changes will occur. Many individuals and groups will fight these changes from within and from without our government. Many will make it their goal in life to return the power levers of our Nation to the elite, powerful, and wealthy, those with an ideology seeking goals outside the acceptable boundaries of “We the People”. They will continue to attempt to move the Overton Window to policies, procedures, and social norms to the far left. There will be conflicts, not only in acts of lawfare, but the strong potential remains for even kinetic violence that could engulf many of our cities. We marvel at what drives this ideology. We suspect it originates in the philosophy that one needs to do all they can in this life to achieve all that they can, for when they die, that is the end.

We at FREEDOMGOFORTH.COM feel differently, as do the majority within our Nation. We see death as only a transition to a new beginning. One that lasts forever, and it is based upon the belief and faith in our Creator. Without this hope, it is obvious that some would seek preeminence and ultimate power within this life, and when losing their current foothold in achieving their purposes, finding their way forward thwarted by those who do their best to live honest, moral lives, it is understandable why hostility, accompanied by corruption, would continue by many within our Nation.

For those who believe in the Creator, we see this life differently, one where this existence is more like a proving ground, where we try and spend more time giving thanks for God’s created, praising His Glory and thanking Him for the opportunity to step with Him into the next life. We are thankful that we have been given this opportunity through our birth, blessed with a special soul given for our use, to each one of us, having the choice to do good or ill. We implore those who are spiritual, to continue to seek His Will for your life. In the aftermath of our National elections, we humbly ask all to seek PEACE. In consideration of our response to this National election, we were reminded of a poem by Saint Francis of Assisi written around 1200 A.D. The words have been made into various versions of song. In conclusion of today’s blog, we quote the text from one of these songs to encourage all to seek His PEACE.
