Dear President Elect Trump.
My name is Virginia Cowperthwaite,and I am 13 years old and I live in Thomaston, Maine. I am writing on behalf of some of my friends and family who are concerned about certain issues in our country. These men and women are Christians living in this country who realize that if we want America to be great again we must return to God our Creator and Lord.
Please realize that we are writing to you in love and respect. While we may not agree with you on everything, we as Christians are called to obey the governing authorities inasmuch as they do not tell us to disobey God. Since you are President Elect, we seek to give you the respect that is due to a man, such as yourself, that is in authority over us. We pray for you often and will continue to pray for wisdom, humility, and that you will seek the glory of God above all else.
We, as citizens of the United States of America are concerned about many concerns in our country today. Among these issues is one very important issue, the issue of abortion. Over the last few decades our country has taken the lives of (murdered) over 63 million innocent babies while they are in the womb of their mothers. We know that you consider yourself pro-life and that Mr. Pence is also pro-life. I would urge you to consider another position, that of abolition of abortion.
We who are writing to you are not just pro-life, we are abolitionists! Abortion is premeditated murder for hire and it is not enough to just limit the number of abortions that are performed. We must seek to abolish this sinful practice of murdering babies! We urge you to consider your views on abortion and see that abortion is still murder even in the case of life of the mother, incest, and rape.
The Bible says that children should not be punished for the sins of the father. Even if babies are conceived out of incest or rape the baby is still a gift from God and should not be killed for the sins of their fathers and mothers, but protected as citizens of the United States of America who have by virtue of their humanity certain inalienable rights, the most basic of which is the right to life. We believe that the penalty for abortion should be the same as the penalty for 1st degree murder for the abortionist and the mother who pays someone to end the life of their unborn child. I pray that you would seriously consider this issue and judge righteously.
Another issue that we would like to address is misogyny. All human beings are created in the image of God and women should be treated with the same respect and dignity as men. We do not agree with feminism nor egalitarianism, which states that there is no difference between men and women. God created men and women to fulfill different roles, but neither one should be treated as inferior. It has been reported that in times past you said very demeaning things to women and that you said things that reveal sexual objectification of women. I pray this is no longer the way you think of women.
As President Elect you have been given a very high position in the American government. We urge you to realize that this position is a gift from God and you have the obligation to glorify Him in all that you do. On judgement day you will be asked to give an account of your life to the God who made you. We do not want you to stand before God on that day with the sin of not glorifying Him with the position which He gave to you. We the men and women of this world willfully disobeyed God's laws and justice demands punishment from God.
The Bible says that "all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God." We urge you to repent, turn from your sin, and place your faith in Jesus Christ the only begotten son of the Father. Jesus Christ came to the earth, was born of a virgin and lived a perfect life. He was then crucified on a Roman cross, though He was without sin, to pay the penalty for our sins. On the third day Jesus was raised again to the glory of God the Father and He now sits at the right hand of the Father who is blessed forever, Amen! He is the only one worthy of our worship and we owe all that we have to Him.I pray that you trust completely in Jesus Christ for salvation and walk in the light of His Word, the Bible.
We pray that God would give you wisdom to lead this country in a way that is glorifying to Him. May God show you and Mr. Pence how you are to serve Him with this position. Please give thought to the issues that are above mentioned.
With love in the Lord,
--
