| | "Violence is never the right way. My daughters and I were armed with nothing but love and hope." , said Dr. Izeldeen Abuelaish yesterday according to a report by the BBC. Dr. Abuelaish was well known to the community in Beersheba for bringing his medical experience to bear in the assistance of Jewish mothers. As such, he was described by the head of Soroka University Hospital as a "magical, secret bridge between Israelis and Palestinians". Yesterday Dr. Abuelaish's two daughters were blown to bits before his eyes. Now we pray.
We pray that God may give Dr. Abuelaish extraordinary comfort. We pray that God grant Dr. Abuelaish an extraordinary spirit of forgiveness. And if God should attend to our desire, granting the good doctor both comfort and grace, we pray that his continued life of racial reconciliation may not be misinterpreted as a capitulation to violence - but if it is, we pray that God may give Dr. Abuelaish wings to rise above it, his own secret weapon, grace upon grace. |
