This is not my home!

Thoughts from a conservative, Christian woman, wife and mom.  Some will tune out right now.  And that is perfectly ok.  I thank God we have the freedom of free speech and also the freedom to tune out what we do not want to hear.  For those of you who will continue to read, I thank God for that as well.  He wants us to be open to being used by Him.  That’s why I’m asking God to search me and let me know if any of this is offensive to the kingdom of God before I post.  Find any fault in me, Lord, illuminate it and fix it.  I give you full authority, Father, to change me into what you’d have me be.
Now to my thoughts…. I have been humbled this election season.  It’s an election like none other.  A pandemic, a threat on our freedoms, a hatred that courses through people’s veins.  It’s easy for me to get caught up in it all and start to fear.  It’s easy for me to hear people with opposing views from mine and start to hate.  It’s easy for me to preach “at” people and their morals when I “think” they don’t line up with mine.  It’s easy to let Satan take control and use my mentioned weaknesses for his glory.  Satan gets so loud in my ear.  He infiltrates what I hear on the radio.  He infiltrates what I see on TV.  He consumes what I read in the news.  He has had a field day of epic proportions…. And that is because Satan has full dominion here on earth.
But then when I intentionally seek God, get quiet and listen to Him….. His quiet, calming voice reassures me… THIS IS NOT MY HOME.  There is no man or woman here that I should put my trust in.  There is no perfect legislature that can save my soul.  There are no political promises that will build my treasures in heaven.  God is the only ONE trustworthy.  God is the only ONE who can save my soul through the blood of His Son, Jesus.  And my most precious treasure is having Jesus in my heart and telling my loved ones about Him too.  But doesn’t it go farther than our loved ones?  YES! 
Jesus died for ALL!  Believers, non-believers (which is how we all started out), liberals, conservatives, atheist, blacks, whites, sinners, saints, pro-choice, pro-life, yellow, brown, red, homosexuals, heterosexuals, thieves, liars, murderers, animal lovers, leftist, rightist, LGBTQ+, people who identify as kangaroos, etc.  JESUS’ BLOOD COVERS ALL.  But ALL do not know Him.  That is what my commission is… to share Jesus.  His love.  His desire for a relationship.  His promise of eternal life.  His “come as you are” message.  I can’t discriminate against WHO I share God’s message with….. He just asks us to share it. 
Kings and kingdoms will all pass away…. But Jesus will remain.  Not Trump.  Not Biden.  Not any other man or woman.  All of us have a chance today, because we are alive today, to tell Satan he cannot take away our hope… which is found in Jesus.  He also cannot stop us from sharing that HOPE with others.
Pray for eyes to be opened, ears to listen, hearts to receive the message of the love of God and His Son, Jesus.
