Yesterday I commented on how Islam hides the beauty and Image of God as seen in women. The Lord brought the following I think to remin me that it is all about relationships. When you are in relationship, authentic and sacrificial, beauty happens.
Read the commentary and view the photographs of Michael Yon: Come Home
Come home, come home,
Ye who are weary, come home;
Will L. Thompson, “Softly and Tenderly”
This is one of the most beautiful scenes I have seen coming out of Baghdad. The following brought tears to my eyes …
Today, Muslims mostly filled the front pews of St John’s. Muslims who want their Christian friends and neighbors to come home. The Christians who might see these photos likely will recognize their friends here. The Muslims in this neighborhood worry that other people will take the homes of their Christian neighbors, and that the Christians will never come back. And so they came to St John’s today in force, and they showed their faces, and they said, “Come back to Iraq. Come home.” They wanted the cameras to catch it. They wanted to spread the word: Come home. Muslims keep telling me to get it on the news. “Tell the Christians to come home to their country Iraq.”
