John 15:13  Greater love has no one than this, than to lay down one’s life for his friends. 

Ever since last Saturday’s assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump, today's verse has played over and over in my mind. In no way am I glorifying Trump, comparing him to Jesus, or taking away the meaning of this verse. But you've got to ask yourself, why would one of the wealthiest men in America give up the opportunity to relax and enjoy the fruits of his prosperous career to run again for a political position that has challenged every fiber of his being, even putting his life in jeopardy? If I were Trump, I'd be chilling by the pool and enjoying my family. 

Well, that's not the character of Trump, and that lavish lifestyle wasn't earned by sitting around and watching the world pass by. He engaged his God given talents and abilities to lead, rising to the top. Very few people in this world are capable of withstanding the attacks this man has endured and still continued to stand tall in the face of adversity and his opponents. This is the kind of leader we need running this country. 

You might not agree with all of his views, and that's ok. No one who's ever been president, or any leader, is capable of pleasing everyone. But his willingness to put his life on the line, to make for a better, stronger, and safer America, all under the umbrella of God's blessings, makes sense.

The choice is yours, but I support the one who already has shown us he is willing to take a bullet because he loves people and desires to make America Great Again.
