I
have no idea what goes through the mind of someone who decides to
become a police officer. However, it seems to me that most would
probably do it to "protect and serve" their community. I encourage you
to click on the above link, or paste the web-address into your browser
to read the full story. The good that police officers do seems to always
be ignored and frankly it is time that changed.
A
few weeks ago, I went to "Sunrise", a favorite restaurant of mine in
Zephyrhills, Florida and noticed several police officers having
breakfast. I stopped one of them as they left and thanked him for work
that he does- the word "startled" does not even begin to describe the
look on his face! I think I made his day; I certainly hope so.
Paul says...
Romans, Chapter 13 (WEB)
1 Let
every soul be in subjection to the higher authorities, for there is no
authority except from God, and those who exist are ordained by God. 2 Therefore
he who resists the authority, withstands the ordinance of God; and
those who withstand will receive to themselves judgment. 3 For
rulers are not a terror to the good work, but to the evil. Do you
desire to have no fear of the authority? Do that which is good, and you
will have praise from the same, 4 for
he is a servant of God to you for good. But if you do that which is
evil, be afraid, for he doesn’t bear the sword in vain; for he is a
servant of God, an avenger for wrath to him who does evil.
AND
7 Give
therefore to everyone what you owe: taxes to whom taxes are due;
customs to whom customs; respect to whom respect; honor to whom honor. 8 Owe no one anything, except to love one another; for he who loves his neighbor has fulfilled the law.
Officer Sims is not alone in his kindness;
there are untold men and women who risk their lives daily for our
protection. Thank one of them as soon as you can; they deserve it!!!!
