Nations use terror to drive out or subdue indigenous people in their expansion. We have often attributed victory after such brutal conquest to our tribal god. The Father of Jesus is not angry at the people your nation is angry about. We lift our kind of people above the other peoples of our world. God is the Father of all of them. He loves them. He wants to bless them. Abba wants all of His children to get along in the world. Nothing warms the heart of parents like seeing their children loving on, and doing good things for each other. It is like no other good feeling that parents have. Why don’t we just start warming the heart of our Father!
Everyone who believes that Jesus is the Christ is born of God, and everyone who loves the father loves his child as well. This is how we know that we love the children of God: by loving God and carrying out his commands.” 1 John 5:1-2 (NIV)
