Last night I had a dream that I heard bombs outside of my window. Where we are today has gone beyond politics. Human rights are being violated, and in the midst of all this we have folks like Chrisette michelle and Tina Campbell of the Gospel group, Mary Mary, rallying behind Donald Trump.
In a open letter on facebook, Cambpell writes:
I understand that Mr. Donald Trump is our new president, not our God, so as a citizen I choose to have a sensible expectation of him, accompanied by much prayer for him, and a complete dependency on God to work through him, as well as the others that are in office, to secure the welfare of this nation. I choose to opt out of fear of the unknown but rather opt in to hopeful expectation because if God is for us nothing can successfully stand against us.
I’m so grateful that I have an inherent right to choose my perspective and, because of that, I choose to forgive all things that I have read, seen, and/or heard from or about Mr. Donald Trump that I deem as hurtful or offensive. I believe that transformation and progress are inevitable when love and forgiveness are at the helm of the journey. Unforgiveness separates us, but forgiveness unites us. Hate kills us, individually and collectively, but love builds and beautifies all who exercise it. And, when I say love, I am speaking of love as the Bible defines it in 1 Corinthians 13:4-8: “Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails……”
While many of the comments on the post praised Campbell’s perspective, some weren’t quite on board:

I support her view. I believe she wrote it from a heart full of the Holy Spirit Himself. She expressed sentiments I wish everyone could model. I would be interested in having a conversation with her. She is speaking into existence where she hopes our nation is heading and if it is God will then it will. Until that time He put us here to be a voice for the voiceless; a hand for the helpless and feet to get His work done. Love God and Love people!! That’s the way we get there.
