Today’s Thought “Change the Narrative?” G. Ward

Romans 12:10  “Love one another with brotherly affection. Outdo one another in showing honor.”

Veteran’s Day transcendence was/is remarkably perceived by the world on yesterday (by another name -Armistice Day) as political leaders and its citizenry marched throughout America, France, Australia, The United Kingdom, New Zealand and others, celebrating the 100^th anniversary’s end of World War I, along with the sacrifice of those who fought and their families (*cf. Rev.7:9).

While acquainted with land boundaries, with its perceived ownership (cf. Ps. 24:1), have any contemplated Holy God’s intent, particularly the premise of His love towards mankind beyond geographical lines? Moreover, has the celebratory praise of soldier’s commendations that offers kudos to their keeping a parcel of the earth safe, denying their spiritual obligation to come to Jesus on the same terms as the rest of earth’s citizens (because sacrifice, even up to life, regarding unrest from varied nations and the conviction to defend, having never been the standard in being known by heaven – cf. Ps.127:1)? Heroism in earth, shouldn’t lead to eternal separation from the Father. Loving and honoring truly understands our reasonable service as soldiers of the cross, to dispel Truth unto any (indiscriminate to boundary lines) so that peace would compel mankind to lay their weapons down (Eph.6:12).

Honoring my Father Horace A. Ward (United States Air Force), my brother Horace D. Ward (United States Marine Corps), along with every veteran for their service.
