Take heart.

God has not left his office. He does not stand for reelection. Regardless

what happens in the course of events in the United States, God has not

abandoned his throne.

God is not

waiting for a recount, nor confirmation of ballots cast. In fact, God

has never distributed any ballots. He never printed any nor envisioned

such. God has never and will never put himself up for election.

God does not

depend upon his popularity to get things done in Washington, Moscow, or

Jerusalem. He does not spend time and money on opinion polls or think

tanks. Most truly, he just does not care what most of the world thinks.

God does not

wait for political favors to present new mercies every morning. He did

not wait for a swing in popularity before he swung into action for humankind.

He did not have to leave the throne room of heaven, but he did for you

and me. He did not wait for you and me to fall in love or in like with

him before he did something supernatural for us. In other words, we did

not have to vote for him and still he gave us an appointment.

God does not

care much about your vote, but he cares about your heart. He grieves when

he sees you and me not taking full advantage of the joyful life he won

for us. You see, God did not go on the campaign trail for admiration and

loyalty from you and me. He simply conceded. He conceded his life in a

desperate, but successful attempt to set our hearts aright.

God is not

so much interested in bringing Democrats, Republicans, Libertarians, and

Greens together as he is interested in bringing the hearts of the children
