Dear Editor,
I am so afraid of what might or will happen if ‘the other’ candidate wins.
My tremendous fear, which has been ramped up to a feverish pitch, is that so many are behaving so horribly toward one another, harshly calling complete strangers names and using other extremely disrespectful dialogue, especially on social media.
A big fear in the Donald Trump camp is that America is being taken advantage of, invaded, and so weak on the world stage that we’re at risk of being taken over completely.
A big fear in the Hillary Clinton camp is that Trump may not leave us with a world at all, given his rash temperament, fierce “winning at all costs” mentality, and lack of understanding of how America’s future and the world’s future are one and the same.
But it’s when I’m most afraid that I again remember there’s nothing really to fear when I put my trust in God. That is, when I remember life is eternal, that we are all truly one, and love is the only real power there is. That’s the God I know.
My job is to feel God’s peace while trusting in what is in each moment; remembering there’s a big picture I don’t see, but that God does see.
