Where do we go from here?

So many of my prolife friends friends are so upset by Tuesday reeelection of President Obama.  They are angry that they again do have a prolife president and for those of us who are Catholic it means that we will have to deal this Obama care and the insurance mandate that goes agains of our faith.  I have even heard them say that our country has gone to Hell.

But they are forgetting, that God is in charge.  Then why did this happen?  Why didn't God fix this by letting Romney win?  It would be so much easier that way.  Repeal Obama care, not fight needed, no worries.  But that's just it.  I think god wants us to have to fight.  To show what it is we believe in.  Just think if they repealed Obama care we would still have thousands of people without access to healthcare.  We would be sitting comfortably at home not having to speak up for our faith, not having to explain,our beliefs to the rest of the nation.  We would be comfortable, people would die, and no one would be challenged about faith.  I can see now that isn't what God wants.

This is the Year of Faith and I think our Father inRome knew what he was doing.  He knew we would need to work to know our faith better, to draw closer to God to gain strength for the fight.  We need to remember though that this isn't a fight in the normal sense, this is Gods fight so we fight with love.  We don't fight with angry voices but with the voice of God, the voice of love.  We have to sit down to dinner with them and show them how much we love them.  We love them so much we won't give up. We love them enough to give all we have for them.  While heaping the burning coals of love on their heads, we will win.
