Some Thoughts about The Syrian Refugees

syrian-refugeesThe tragedy in Syria is growing and  becoming painfully real and known across our world.   The pictures of refugees and their desperate circumstances weigh heavily on my heart.  I  hear a great deal of concern about our security as a country  (which is very valid) and also hear the cries of refugees whose lives are shattered and in great need of a world response to help them.  Both of these concerns are valid and we must as Christians consider and seek God’s discernment about what to do and how to be the hands and feet of Jesus in a hurting world.    I’m frustrated with rhetoric from both sides that seeks to selfishly  marginalize the problem on one side and oversimplify solutions on the other.  What would Jesus do?  Let’s pray for what God would have us do, and pray for our leaders that they will make wise decisions.  Micah 6:8.
