I am tired of being told I need to stand up for truth.
I am tired of being told which sins "we" must fight against.
I am tired of being told I must vote a certain way because I am a Christian.
I am tired of my faith being used as part of a political agenda.
When asked what the greatest commandment was Jesus replied:
“‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.’ This is the first and greatest commandment. And the second is like it: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’" (Matthew 22:37-39)
I have chosen to err on the side of love. If I am going to miss the mark, I would rather fall on the side of grace than that of righteousness. One I cannot attain. The other I can only give because it was first given to me.
