For those of this who love this country, who remember what it was, a shining city on a hill, letting go of what was is really hard.
But we need to let go, so we can begin the path forward.
We are Citizens of Heaven. Heaven is our real Home. We are just traveling through this world, loving God and loving our neighbor. And that is all that really matters.
We need to remember that nothing has happened that will stop us from doing what Jesus commanded:
“And you shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your mind, and with all your strength.’ This is the first commandment. And the second, like it, is this: ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’ There is no other commandment greater than these.” – Mark 12:30-31
