I’d like to issue a challenge that I’ll call “ The Anti-hypocrisy Challenge”.
To everyone of my friends: supporters of the former president, supporters of our new president, those in between, those on the outside: I want to issue this challenge to all of us:
If you were willing to extend grace, encouragement and prayers, while overlooking the glaring flaws of our former president, the challenge is to please continue to do the same for our new president. If you were keen on fact checking, criticisms, accountability and calling out hypocrisy in our former president, the challenge is to please continue doing so for our new president. That is what we call having character and integrity.
No government is perfect. Checks and balances in this American Republic exist for very good and necessary reasons. But be sure, how we handle our challenges, disappointments and triumphs tells the story of who we really are. We must stop expecting from others, what we, ourselves, are not willing to give.
It is is clear that we still have some tough and challenging days ahead. Let’s all be intentional in doing our part to faces our challenges with character and integrity.
