political change

I had the opportunity to hear Barack Obama speak on Monday evening and I came away with the feeling that politicians are just...politicians. Our last question of the night came from a young lady who seemed desperate for some kind of change in her life.

"I don't know how to do this!" She said. "I need something else to keep me in this."

I wanted to grab her by the hand and put my arms around her. She was bold to share this with the crowd. And Obama didn't have too much encouragement to give her. He instead shared his campaign slogan again and walked off the stage.

What would you tell that girl? Would you say you need to meet the One who created for a beautiful purpose or would you say, "vote for me and we'll figure it out". I realize the context of the event, but there is always time for love. And she needs it. We all need it.

Intimacy is the longing of my heart, Lord, of this heart.
