The Value of Life

Recently there was a severe hatred against a faithful group of people.  They have a faith that goes back to the time of Moses, Aaron and many others.  The Moabites were always a problem with hatred as they were descendants of Sodom and Gomorrah.  Perhaps there was a form of left-leaning ideologies in that town and community group.  Ruth was redeemed from Moabite conditions.  So on and so forth.  This story of hatred in need of redemption is very old!  But yet still new in minds and hearts.  Anyone who is aware of what opposition to faith,-in the first five books of the bible-, does to a group of people by heritage, would also know that faith and family communities are important in more than just text book information.  These values are important for the heart and soul.

The individual who had this hatred, did not consider wisely whom he was targeting.  He was targeting family values.  He was targeting faith values.  He was targeting community values.  To do so, is a form of hatred instead of brotherly love, and hatred will never bring light as Martin Luther King pointed out.

We all need to shed the "dead man" in our own lives.  Don't point fingers at political rhetoric.  Yes, many people even in Iowa are likely to be related to individuals with middle eastern heritage like many of Levant heritage.  Rich and poor alike.  Pointing fingers at their mistakes or the mistakes of others on the outside will not solve the problem.  We have an entire population of WW2 veterans, genocide and victim survivors who can still tell us memories of the tragic times.   Some may even recall what their grandmother said about WW1 which is equally important in regards to identifying the beast, as Ben Shapiro will describe.

I can recall the times when family values were important and I held various younger siblings and cousins in my arms.  I’ve been held in arms of various family members of this or that heritage.  The little things matter.  Some may not know their loved one’s own heritage.  Others may know those things, but love will truly cover a multitude of sin and evil in this world.  One can hope for a better tomorrow where light outshines darkness.  “Psa_8:2  Out of the mouth of babes and suckling’s hast thou ordained strength because of thine enemies, that thou mightest still the enemy and the avenger.”
