I believe he has a wise, servant-heart. And also, I think that listening to his perspective is bound to draw one's heart closer to our Abba.<BR/><BR/>I have never attended a National Day of Prayer event, so I really don't know what it is like. But I have had some precious times with Jesus, one on one, on that day over the years. Many times, I got a sitter for the kids and fasted and prayed through Scripture in a completely quiet house (a rare event with four children).<BR/><BR/>Blessings on you and your fam today!Hollyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00794673914973256109noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27882134.post-7760740326075537812008-05-05T12:03:00.000-06:002008-05-05T12:03:00.000-06:00Around 5 years ago, I actually had to go to a more...Around 5 years ago, I actually had to go to a more mature believer who didn't go to my church and ask her if God loved me and thought I was beautiful even though I wasn't as conservative/nationalistic as the majority of folks at my church. Really. I know it sounds silly, but--without casting stones at any political affiliation, because they all have their strengths and weaknesses--I was totally feeling like if I didn't vote a certain way, my Savior would be disappointed in me. <BR/><BR/>Now, this friend did say that as I matured as a Christian, I would likely become more "conservative", but that if I believed in the Trinity, and that God was my Father and Christ died and was resurrected in reconciliation for my sins, that I was a Christian. Period. <BR/><BR/>THank you for this post and for pointing out that our Abba loves His children, and He's much gentler than we often make him out to be.Gretchenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02576409086020993015noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27882134.post-62822985925997216912008-05-05T10:53:00.000-06:002008-05-05T10:53:00.000-06:00Oh, Amen.

I squirmed in my chair and made snarky comments to the person next to me, all the while longing for a taste of the Spirit of God to show up unattached to Nationalism. It did not. It was the longest hour and a half of the week. I would have much rather been invited into the presence of Daddy to sit on his lap a while and talk things over.Ericahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13504633849858796708noreply@blogger.com
