Patriots
We as patriots should be looking for opportunities to create change in our country.
However, change cannot occur without motivation from something. We need some reason to push forward. Some reason to overcome the daunting obstacles. Some reason to do that which is not easy.
What kind of motivation is right, though?
We all may have motivation for different reasons, but we must make sure we have the right motivation behind our change. We should ask ourselves, “Am I doing this to glorify myself or to glorify the Lord and help my fellow man?”
We’ve all seen politicians who, because of their selfish motives, do whatever it will take to bring themselves power and prominence. In contrast, however, we as patriots must be committed to principles and doing right.
Unless we are first motivated for the right reasons, we will have a very hard time producing principled results.
As true patriots, our motivation and drive should not be for prominence, power, or wealth. Instead, our motivation should come from a desire to return this nation back to its’ founding principles, a desire to be the change we want to see in this country, and a desire to carry the torch of freedom honorably until we pass it on to the next generation.
