Finding Something Good To Say When Good Is Hard To Find

This election is in many ways the worst in history. Most voters are holding their nose to vote. Many have decided that there is no one worthy of their vote. There is more dirt and criminality on the two candidates than any two candidates ever. If your Facebook is like mine, all you see from some people every day is flaming hatred and fear aimed at the person they dislike most.

Yesterday someone challenged me to say something nice about Hillary and Trump. So, here goes...

Donald and Hillary are fearfully and wonderfully made.

God loves Hillary and Donald.

Jesus Christ sacrificed His life to win their souls.

God has blessed them with talents, abilities, and gifts.

They have developed God-given leadership abilities.

God has raised them up to positions of power and influence.

God has plans for them... to give them a future.

God speaks to them.

God wants to save them.

God has put people in their lives to share the Gospel with them.

They are living in a time of grace and mercy.

There are many Christians praying for them. Okay... there should be more... but there are Christians interceding for them.

Both Trump and Clinton, as messed up as they are, really do have a lot going for them. God is for them. And in a true sense... so am I. You should be too.

"From one man He has made every nationality to live over the whole earth and has determined their appointed times and the boundaries of where they live. He did this so they might seek God, and perhaps they might reach out and find Him, though He is not far from each one of us. For in Him we live and move and exist, as even some of your own poets have said, ‘For we are also His offspring.’" Acts 17:26-28
