PUTTING AMERICA BACK TOGETHER...

A father wanted to read a magazine but was being bothered by his little girl who wanted to know what the United States looked like. In order to get some momentary peace, he tore a sheet out of his new magazine on which was printed the map of the country. Tearing it into small pieces, he gave it to her and said,  "Go into the other room and see if you can put this together."

After a few minutes, she returned and handed him the map, correctly fitted and taped together. The father was surprised and asked how she had finished so quickly. "Oh,' she said, "on the other side of the paper is a picture of Jesus. When I got all of Jesus back where He belonged, then our country just came together."

How poignant and true this is...our country is a MESS and we are being totally ripped apart and torn in small and bitter pieces as faction upon faction of Americans fight over politics, religion, ethics, morals and so many other things that it boggles the mind to try and comprehend them all.

BUT ONE THING IS CLEAR...THIS COUNTRY , ONCE PROUDLY FOUNDED ON JUDAEO-CHRISTIAN VALUES, IS LOSING THE WAR WITH THOSE BENT ON PROGRESSIVE SOCIALIST THINKING AND WE ARE BEING TORN ASUNDER.

We must truly do as this little girl did and get Jesus back where He belongs....in our government...in our courts...in our schools...in our churches...and most of all, in our homes as we train up our children in the fear and admonition of the Lord Jesus Christ.

We cannot continue down this path of self-destruction that has led to the mass killing of  innocent bystanders, whether gathered to see a concert in Las Vegas or assembled as the body of Christ, seeking to worship Jesus on a Sunday morning. WE MUST PUT JESUS BACK WHERE HE BELONGS....

AND THAT PLACE IS FIRST PLACE IN THE HEARTS AND MINDS OF THOSE WHO PROFESS TO CALL HIM....

LORD...

Have you done your part and surrendered you life to Him? Are you walking today where your Savior leads or is your agenda more important than His? Can you say that your are making a difference in the lives of those He has entrusted to your care and are you faithfully leading others to know and follow Him?

St. Augustine probably said it best, " Always be a witness for Christ; when necessary, use words." Today, you may be making an eternal difference in the life of someone you encounter, not just by what you might say, but moreover, by your actions. You are pointing someone to heaven or hell and that is the sad state of affairs in our country today...when the world looks at America, which way are we pointing?

Make up your mind and consecrate your soul today to follow Jesus and to do your part to put Him back where He belongs...if we will all do this, then just as in the little girl's puzzle...when we put Jesus back where He belongs, our country will come together and He will make America great again.

Pointing others to Jesus...Praying for the healing of America,

Poem for the day:

Everywhere you might turn each day

You often will hear the people say;

America now has sealed its fate....

It's no longer good, much less great!

For gone is prayer in the marketplace;

People hurt others and feel no disgrace.

Evil and wickedness seem to rule the day

As people trample those who get in their way.

So what can be done my friend,

To make America great again?

Just trust in Jesus and He will prevail

And turn back America from the gates of hell.
