For the last year and a half, (or longer it seems) there has been a lot of emotion expressed over this upcoming election.
No matter where your political views land, it hasn't been an easy road. And as election day gets closer, emotions continue to run higher.
I see a lot of fear and anxiety expressed.
It reminds me of what I told my sons when they were in high school. I said, "All of the things you worry about now, all the things that seem so important now will vanish the moment you are handed that diploma and realize you are done with public school. In an instant you will see it all in a different light, and wonder why you spent so much energy worrying about those things."
The same is said about our lives here on earth. This is not the end of the story, in fact, we are barely at the beginning.
As Peter tells us, something better is on its way.
"Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! In his great mercy he has given us new birth into a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, and into an inheritance that can never perish, spoil or fade. This inheritance is kept in heaven for you, who through faith are shielded by God's power until the coming of the salvation that is ready to be revealed in the last time. In all this you greatly rejoice, though now for a little while you may have had to suffer grief in all kinds of trials." 1 Peter 1:3-6 (NIV)
Yes, something far better than any politician can promise or deliver.
