Politically Correct

     I don't get into political debates, and I am appalled at the way demonstrations are being conducted. Screaming and hatefulness should have no place in our workplace, in our home, in our government, or in this great United States of America.  Where is respectfulness?  Where is decency?  Where is consideration for the law?  We are blessed!  Too blessed to allow ourselves to bring ourselves down in such a manner.   

     Ephesians 2:10 "We are God's masterpiece.  He has created us anew in Christ Jesus so we can do the good things He planned for us long ago."  We are God's creation; His masterpiece; His work of art!  This says to me that we should be projecting God's character in all that we do.  The writer of my Joy of Living Series says it better than I when talking about God's handiwork.  "Our lives should show forth with the very things God created us to demonstrate; good work of kindness, love, mercy, compassion, forgiveness, and service." 

     I believe God created us "in His image" to display His greatness and His love.  If we could strive to do this, what unity our nation would show to the world!  There might finally be peacefulness, forgiveness, compassion, and understanding disagreements instead of what we are seeing in our lives and in our government today.  Where is the mercy and love like that which God is willing to give to us?
