“In order to rally people, governments need enemies. They want us to be afraid, to hate, so we will rally behind them. And if they do not have a real enemy, they will invent one in order to mobilize us.”
-Thich Nhat Hanh
It is my prayer that the Christian president starts publicly praying for his enemies, for the enemies of America. It is my prayer that everyone starts to pray and ask God how they can love their enemies, not with words, but with action. If we allow our government or religious leaders to instill hate and fear into us, the Way of Jesus cannot be realized in our country and in our lives.
