Days Off

Psst. God doesn't take Tuesdays off. So, you're worried, why? Are the Democrats the light of the world and the salt of the earth? Not a chance. Are the Republicans the light of the world and the salt of the earth? Not a chance. No matter what happens on Tuesday our assignment as His children will not change at all. "Love the Lord your God with all your heart, soul, mind, and strength; and your neighbor as I have loved you." Perhaps, our problem is that we're trying to pass on our assignment to people who don't know it and wouldn't care to live by it even if they did know it. The real "issue" on Tuesday--for every day--is will I be faithful to keep my assignment: Love God with all that I am, and Love my neighbor as deeply as He loves me. My faithfulness to that command is the only power that will produce change. And change starts when my neighbor knows the love of God, when I love my neighbor as He loves me: sacrificially, kindly, patiently, with a heart of forgiveness, unconditionally. God doesn't take any days off. You and me?
