I am with you. That is what I will strain to hear from you today. God I know you are real. Gandhi said that he admired the life of Jesus, was indeed inspired to follow his example, but after years of observing Christians, he sadly concluded, "for me to believe in their Redeemer, their lives must show they are redeemed." A Christian lifestyle matters. Gandhi looked for mankind to reflect Christian behavior but instead saw brutality and thoughtless actions towards people. We are all God's children and when he says it am with you, it's not just the Christians that he is with, he is with us all. We cannot think that any election does not matter. Every election affects our lives. Our livelihood is at stake. We must remember that it's not just the words but the lifestyle. Jesus heals on the Sabbath, Jesus broke the religious rules of what should be done and when. He did not break a civil law, he broke a religious rule. Had he done something truly wrong they would have been able to convict him quickly, but he didn't. His lifestyle is an example for us all. We just need the power and the miracles. God is with us. My Lord and Savior is with me always. He is able to heal whoever and whenever. My God is Real.
Luke 6:7-11
On another Sabbath, he entered the synagogue and was teaching, and a man was there whose right hand was withered. And the scribes and the Pharisees watched him, to see whether he would heal on the Sabbath, so that they might find a reason to accuse him. But he knew their thoughts, and he said to the man with the withered hand, “Come and stand here.” And he rose and stood there. And Jesus said to them, “I ask you, is it lawful on the Sabbath to do good or to do harm, to save life or to destroy it?” And after looking around at them all he said to him, “Stretch out your hand.” And he did so, and his hand was restored. But they were filled with fury and discussed with one another what they might do to Jesus.
