He sees more than I see

I woke up this day with the firm desire to shout to the world the sad thing that my heart feels whenever I remember the images of yesterday. Often, I want to express with all my forces the consequences that many desicions bring to the life of innocents who, perhaps never thought about how to receive the blows, threats and maltreatments that persons dominated by the anger, the hate, the powerlessness, the fear and even any that another substance did against students, workers and others simple citizens who were not doing anything else than to obey an order of their superiors.
Yesterday, the images of the Nicaraguan T.V channels where full of students who were fighting for 6 % in the budget of the State that might turn affected for the next year. Minutes later, students of an university were attacked by "supposed" students who without saying a word they attacked them with spear mortars hurting of consideration, although not seriously two young ladies. Meanwhile, others were running away looking for a roof that can protect them from the rain of fireworks shoted against them
At the same time, another group went with eggs, tomatoes and mortars on their hand at the embassy of the United Statesof America, to shout affronts and to defendthemselves from what they call " the Yankee injerencism ".At the end, after destroying the lighting, the badge with the shield of the United Statesand other things, they were dispersed by tear-producing gases.
But while many people were watching these images, my heart was reminding me how necessary it is to love the ground where I am. They small things as a smile, the memory of the children after they received a bag with food and the feeling of a life marked are some of the things that made me stay here.
As human beings it is very easy to take a side and to defend it to layer and sword, but as Christians we often ignore (because I am sure that we all have this point clear ) that our struggle isagainst something spiritual and goes beyond the actions that a human being takes.
Every thing that happens in this place, as well as about the world has a spiritual background that far from scaring it should impel us to win others for Christ by usign the love, the compassion and the courage that Jesus left to us.
Thismornign, while I was thinking what will the day bring, I took the decision to conquer the evil with love, to leave the fear aside and to remember that the ONE who is next to me is bigger than who wants to destroy me and that if yesterday I wasnt the one inured one TV it was simply because God kept me, because He sees more than I can see and because every thing for unjust that seems is under His control.

  1. Tat- this is a very good word for me on this day where I worry about the safety of my friends. Sometimes I get so angry at those who carry theories that lead the people to worse conditions than ever by always blaming the other inside of looking within. So, like Peter in the garden I feel like pulling a sword. I find myself drawn to fighting the idolatry rather than focusing on the task of bring people to Jesus, our primary task as Christians. Your note brings me back to the idea that it's God's battle not ours, where we are called simply to stand, to stand in our place with the breastplate of righteousness, helmut of salvation, feet of the gospel of peace , belt of Truth, and the Sword of the Spirit. - posted by U know who...
