Today is USA’s presidential Election day. Lots of feelings going on in this nation, but the basic one is fear. This is not what God would desire for us. I have succumbed to fear as well. I want to know the answers. But no leader at any point can do everything, it is the people around them and in each state that can make or break a nation. If transformation doesn’t occur on an individual level, and upward from there, a nation cannot prosper.
Humility is how Jesus acted, and he saw the person as an individual, knew what was in their heart, and responded accordingly. That’s why I’m really seeking out what are the things in me that he sees and wants to transform. It isn’t by deciphering a code and following it; it is by gazing into his character, the way he treated women and children, and much more. When broken families occur, it comes from not seeing, hearing, treating the person according to what Jesus sees in them. Stubborn hearts are the ones Jesus breaks, not humble and contrite ones.
