Whose the Enemy?

aud20190201 wa000 Dear fellow Christians, I have been thinking a lot lately about our fellow human beings who call themselves atheists. Christian Communities are sometimes bombarded with articles by non-believers and it's not surprising that they have been blocked. But I feel a certain amount of sympathy for them. Not all of them, mind you. Some of them appear to be mud-slingers who have nothing good to say about anyone but I don't know their hearts. Atheists, like many of the rest of us often have sympathetic, yet hurting hearts and possibly can't understand why a loving God would allow such suffering in the world. I want to focus on the sensitivity they show, the caring they feel. That is a beautiful thing. Let's not fight against them and put up a barricade but reach out in love and compassion. Not join them of course, because by doing that we would loose something most precious. Let's not preach or try to defend our viewpoint but just show that we care and listen with an understanding heart. We also find it hard to cope with all the cruelty in the world but find a comfort in the arms of the Healer and wish they could find Him also. Non-believers aren't truly our enemies, Satan is.
