Ignorance Keeps Us Innocent

Daniel’s thoughts on the 1993 Burundi geneocide:

One epic event forever set in stone. There is no escaping the reality. No one can forget. No one will forget. Now haunting never ending horror. Cruel, miserable, torment encased in time living on in the wildest fears. Living in darkness only waiting till the day history repeats. The Cycle of Life continues without hope. They cry out to us. They beg us. They plead with us. Wailing mothers. Dead fathers. Children’s bodies fill the streets. This is just the beginning. Crushed spirits, destroyed minds only the body lives on in agony. Hear the crying orphans, the screams of women raped, the suffering husband helpless. All dignity has abandoned them. All trust is dead like lost loved ones. All love is lost in ash.

Will we every truly understand...

    As I read I thought of how hard it is for those with the comforts of life to stay close to Christ. Although not really rich men that Christ warns us of, we struggle to keep before our minds, every living moment how desperate we are before God. Thanks so much for the picture you have painted in my mind and heart for people I will probably never see.(until we get home)
