Jesus Wept.
One of the shortest and most powerful verses in the Bible.
Why is this so important?
Jesus is the visible image of the invisible God. Amen
What Jesus displayed shows the heart of our Heavenly Father.
Joe Biden portrayed this heart of compassion in last night's debate.
Compassion transcends gender.
In an age where any display in public is frowned upon, something happened struck the heart of American men and women alike: the show of paternal love.
I want people in the White House that can feel the afflictions that "average people" who don't have jets and trust funds feel. People who can look into your eyes and say "I've been there, and it's hell" and can feel your heart because they understand not because its a sound bite.
Aren't you tired of sound bite politics?
I am.
Think about it. How many times have you heard the phrase, "Real men don't cry." And so what happens, we take the well tattered hand me down phrase as truth. Throwing out the window the possibility that maybe its not true. Maybe the person who said this phrase didn't get the love they needed.So this phrase hung onto the rafters as a bullet proof vest to the soul.
Let's reverse the phrase.
What if real men do cry?
People with compassion running the nation will take you and I into consideration when making decisions for the country instead of protecting the "Enrons" of the world and realizing the devastating effect that hundreds of people lost their only pensions for their senior years because exploitation was protected instead of exposed.
Obama and Biden thank you for showing what real men with hearts can do for the climate of a chilled nation.
May God's love be with you and your families and may He give you strength in the face weeks to come. My prayers are with you.
