Here's a rare picture of a Palestinian suicide bomber. We don't usually get to see the face of a bomb laden terrorist.
His name is Hussam Abdo. He was isolated by the Israeli police before he was able to blow himself and others up.
He was ordered to strip down and was then taken in. During the ordeal he, at one point, declared that he didn't really want to die.This happened two days ago.
Just for a moment, look at his face and forget who and what he is. That 16 year old whether we want to believe it or not was created in the image of God. We all abhor what these terrorists are doing but maybe, just maybe this young boy had a change of heart. Would you, along with me and others, simply pray for Hussam. All I see is a kid who probably grew up in harsh conditions and at some point was led to believe that true service to God meant destroying others. Please, just pray for Hussam and believe that God will intervene in some way on behalf of the young lad. I find it difficult to see faces like this and forget that I just recently saw the "Passion of Christ".
Thanks, and pray as the Spirit moves you.
