Heartbreaking

By now the letters I.S.I.S should stir up some level of anger and hatred in your vocabulary and thoughts. The world has watched in horror what these demons in the form of humans have done to men, women, and children. Wicked and completely evil, bent on brutality and savagery, how can they have souls and a conscience? No human being with a soul created by God could do what they have done to children. Do I sound raw, unfiltered, and angry? Well I am. Do you suppose Jesus is? Why does God not send down lighting from heaven to consume them all? Why are they not destroyed by the might of all the civilized nations together? How can anyone who claims to know God do such things to fellow humans? Their God is not the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. Their God is the author of hatred and rage.

The truth is they are all illegitimate sons. They know not their identity or their origin. They live under confusion and blindness. They are brainwashed and welcomed into this "delusional" family which promises women in paradise and all the gold one could want. These prodigals, created by the same God that created the heavens and the earth, know not the truth. They are followers of a lie, loyal to Satan and his legions. They are hopeless and lost, desperately seeking the attention, affirmation, and validation of a "father". They are caught in the trap that has caused many a Ishmael to forever be embittered towards the Isaacs.

What should your response be to them? Would you do the same that they have so ruthlessly done to innocent Christians, and minorities? Would you if you had the chance kill them without a thought? What should our response be as sons and daughters to the true Father of Lights? What should we do? Was it really Jesus that said what I am going to quote from the gospel of Luke 6: 27-28?

"But I say to you who hear, Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you,
bless those who curse you, pray for those who abuse you."

Ouch. That really hurts Jesus. Surely this does not apply to these ruthless men does it? How can this be? It is not what you wanted to hear is it? This is not what your gun under your bed wanted to hear either is it? I am not claiming to have the answer to the question of what we should do. All I know is that Jesus of Nazareth is the one who said those painful words. The man who was crucified said, "Father forgive them, for they know not what they do."

We are left with a painful choice. To forgive or not. To pray for those who persecute you or not. To love your enemies or not. I leave you with this. God have mercy on those men that were once someone's little child innocently playing in the streets, singing in the park, and dreaming of a better future. Is there a dream or vision in the night that could in a moment change their hearts of stone to a heart of flesh? Please abba show them that You are the one they are desperately in need of.
