Letter from a Brazilian shepherd to Bolsonaro

I write without knowing if these words will ever reach your eyes and ears, but I still publish them in the hope that you will read them.

First of all, congratulations. You have been chosen and I believe that the hand of God has taken you to where you will be from January 1, 2019, I believe it because Scripture tells us that the authorities are god’s minister to do good and punish evil (Rom 13) and, moreover, it is clear in the book of the prophet Daniel, who is God who places and puts the rulers , and because what we saw was something new, it was a base movement that supported it in such a spontaneous way. and more and more. It was awesome to see everything.

  • Before we go any further.
  • I need to clarify an important point.
  • I voted for you for the presidency of the Republic.
  • But I did not declare my vote or campaign.
  • It is because I wanted the freedom to write this letter on the basis of the principles I followed.
  • As a religious minister.
  • That I am.
  • Without having partly influenced the flock of Christ for which I am responsible.

My best wishes are for the prosperity and success of his mandate. It would also be for other candidates, praying for the nation and the president. I remain determined to pray frequently for you and your team with the church. I am also committed to supporting the just causes proposed by you and your team, giving a vote of confidence to the good intentions of those who want to do good, and punishing those who spread evil, according to the Bible, the primary function of government. a good citizen who wants to see your good and the good of the nation.

Having said that, I want to record some fears I keep in my heart

The first is that because of the phenomenon that represented his choice, to forget that it was the hand of God that took him to where he is, it is not uncommon for those who come to power to forget him, mainly influenced by those around them, that the motto of your campaign is faithful in your mandate: God above all, including the President of the Republic , that instills fear in your heart so that pride does not grow, one of the most beautiful figures of the Bible as to The Ruler is that he knows how to act as pastor of the people. And for those who do this, you must fear that Dieu. Net be a myth. Be a man who fears not other men, but the ruler of the universe.

Another concern I have is what they will do on your behalf and influence. Politically, I am a liberal. I believe in the state minimum, in economic freedom, in freedom of conscience and religion, in the right to self-defense. I have already made it clear that biblically the state must punish those who do evil and I believe that our laws and public policies regarding crime and treating criminals as victims of society are stupid. No one can accept the absurdities publicly promoted by so many authorities. I think this is one of the main reasons that people came out in force to elect him president. However, you must be very careful. The buzzword? Is a good bandit a dead bandit? it is a dangerous generalization. I am even in favor of capital punishment. However, we run the grave risk of using your name and ideas to establish violence and use your own wickedness and cruelty. It is your responsibility to set the tone and show your followers the legal process to follow, even to change the necessary laws, but without causing social upheaval and gratuitous violence in the midst of a people that already suffers.

This is clearly part of his proposal to combat corruption. How we need it! However, never forget that fighting great corruption does not give anyone who is fighting the right to “small corruptions. “Small corruptions are the door to others. Be yourself and the others. Be your team and those around you. Be sober with privileges, even those who are institutionalized. You are aware that you will find many bad proposals among those who already occupy various positions around you. Throw them away, keep them away. Promote campaigns to elevate the personal ethics of all Brazilians above the low level in which it has been neglected during years of neglect with other people’s property and with the rights of others.

Surround yourself with men and women who love truth, justice, and mercy; be humble, even in your words. Keep everyone’s respect. Keep laughing at yourself, it’s good for the heart. Take care of your house, your little one, love it with simplicity and sincerity. Spend time with her! That’ll make him a better president. Be humble, acknowledge your mistakes. Don’t live in the image, live for real, with mistakes and successes.

May the Lord bless you and our nation

Mauro Meister, husband, father, citizen, pastor
