Under The Circumstances, Feeling Angry With Russia Is To Be Expected-But…

We need to remember that not all Russians support the war on Ukraine.

“For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.” Ephesians 6:1

We need to remember that God loves ALL people. It is not whether they are living in Russia or Ukraine that truly makes the difference in their hearts, it’s whether they are following Christ.

Below is an incredibly sad tweet from one Russian soldier:

““Ukrainian Amb. to the UN reads texts between Russian soldier and his mom before he was killed: “I’m afraid. We are bombing all of the cities…even targeting civilians. We were told that they would welcome us. And they are falling under our armored vehicles.”

The Dispatch wrote even more, ““Mama, I’m in Ukraine. There is a real war raging here. I’m afraid. We are bombing all of the cities, even targeting civilians. We were told that they would welcome us, and they are falling under our armored vehicles, throwing themselves under the wheels and not allowing us to pass. They call us fascists. Mama, this is so hard.” 

God loves us all and we need too as well. Just as we do not agree with some of the choices our government has made, many Russians living in Russia do not agree with their government.

It’s not where we live, it’s how we live. Do we follow Christ? Do we love God and love our neighbor? Do we Pray daily?

Watch, Prepare and Pray, for our time is coming…
