In light of the recent election and extreme divisiveness that it brought to our nation, I found an article that I wrote more than 5 years ago that I am reposting today.  The article was originally written for the monthly newsletter of Good Shepherd Christian Academy, but it is the perfect message for Americans now after one of the most polarizing and divisive Presidential elections ever.

The election is now over and regardless of who you voted for, it’s time for us to move forward as a nation UNITED.  "United we stand, divided we fall," right?  That’s what we always say.  Jesus said something similar:

“If a kingdom is divided against itself, that kingdom cannot stand. And if a house is divided against itself, that house cannot stand.”  (Mark 3:24-25)

I believe that our response as a nation going forward will ultimately determine what direction our country goes in.  It isn’t the guy in office that is going to either save us or ruin us.  It’s our job – we the people of the United States of America – to stand up, join hands and work together to build this nation of ours.  That’s the spirit of America and that’s the spirit of Jesus as well.

Take a look at the article below and let me know what you think by leaving a comment.  If you’re with me, go ahead and say so and spread the word as well.
