Christ’s commands remain the same!
When we really “see” someone, it’s hard to hurt them. That’s why Social Media and Texting can be so bad! It’s just easier to hurt someone we can’t see. (Not that it is right, it’s just easier), because we are not forced to see their smile crumble or their eyes in shock at the pain.
It’s the same in war. Hurting a sister or brother in Christ is much harder up close and personal than it is from far away. Pray for all of them! And pray for those who love them.
Since the beginning, political leaders have ordered their people into battle, but rarely go themselves. And seldom do they realize the cost, both emotionally and physically. They are protected by their allies and do not experience the horrors of the Battlefield, nor do they carry the memories. Pray for those who do! And those who love them.
On the Battlefield and off, God loves all people. Jesus died and rose again for each one of us and the Holy Spirit was sent by God to help all of us. It does not matter which country we reside in, for we are first and foremost Citizens of Heaven and Followers of Jesus!ove the Lord y
Clearly Christ commanded us to Love God and Love our Neighbor! ALL of them!
