paraphrased: There is one great law, and that is "love the Lord your God with all your heart mind and soul," and the second is like it, "love your neighbor as yourself." On these two hang all the law and the prophets.

also paraphrased: By this sign shall everyone know you are Mine, that you love one another.

In these difficult and uncertain times, it is important that we as Christians keep in mind that we are called to love one another and to love our neighbors and to love our God. The rules of retribution have expired, and our Savior has extended us grace, and asked us to extend that same grace to those around us. I disagree with Mr. Obama's policies as well, but we must be assured in our hearts that he is our president by the assent of the Lord Almighty, who sets up and tears down kings and leaders. We must also remain steadfast in our faith and trust in our God, who is overseeing every event in the universe, guiding and using them to achieve His plan. Since you and I did not elect Mr. Obama, we nust accept that he was allowed this position with God's perfect will, and that he will serve God's purposes, despite our impression of his personal values and integrity. We don't see through God's eyes, and our ways are not His ways, but he requires us to accept that He has control and lean upon His grace, for it is truly sufficient. I love you, my brother or sister, and I will lift you up in prayer to the Lord, asking for you to have peace, comfort and joy, for, aside from the promise of eternal life by His side, these are the greatest gifts that our salvation offers. Be blessed!
