Veterans

John 15:13, Rom 12:14

 

Vietnam veterans were deeply hurt when protesters did not respect them. 

 

The protestors had forgotten that our freedoms come with a cost, one which we fought to preserve, and some gave their lives to protect those freedoms. The Bible says in John 15:13 that ‘Greater love hath no man than this that he lay down his life for his friends.”  

 

Yes, veterans have experienced a rejection of that love as a country. Turning to God’s way, we should forgive and find ways to bless.  Rom 12:14 says “Bless them that persecute you; bless, and curse not.”

 

Fortunately, our country is now honoring its veterans.  Still, all of us who are veterans should consider this prayer:

 

Father, help me to continually find ways to bless my country.  I forgive those who hurt us. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.

 

Reflection:

 

Why is important to honor our veterans?

 

What happened to our country when we did not honor our veterans?

 

Take a moment and consider how blessing a veteran honors them.
