On the intact part of Berlin wall it is written: "Politik ist die
Fortsetzung des Krieges mit anderen mitteln" (Politics is continuation
of the war by other means). In our time the politics is everywhere. We
became the politically thinking people, not only politicians, but usual
people: politically thinking traders and teachers, religious leaders,
pastors and parents, husbands and wives…
What of human life events touch us most of all? The love which has the
deep roots in human hearts evokes responses each time when we get in
touch with personal feelings, the romantic stories, the noble
aspirations to start a family, the effort of working to bring up the
children and running the home… in those situations we recognize our
lives, our fears, our hopes and our dreams, because in similar way we
live our own lives. We love, we start our families, raise the children
and support our families. Actually, for us there is nothing beyond the
bounds of our personal lives, where there are rooms for the whole
universe. That's the way of how we feel about ourselves.
But when people discuss about lives of others they often use other
measurements. Instead of the terms of love, they use the terms of
numbers. In such a way the human eternal beings turn into merely numbers.
Come to think of it! Your wife is just a number. Your husband is no more
than just a digit in someone's report. Your children are nothing but
numerical symbols flashing on the screen. And your nation as a whole is
only the approximate statistical quantities. Digits do not love, they do
not feel and therefore they cannot weep. When a figure is erased from
blackboard there are not any emotional aspects in that: nor compassion,
nor regrets. Yes, too often people treat other people so callously as if
they truly numbers on a blackboard.
Yet we know through the Lord Jesus that each person is of great value in
God's opinion. It is much more than political power and domination and
it is much more than value of all oil and gold on the Earth. God hears
our cry, and knows our every thought! Therefore we pray about our
country - Uzbekistan, for all those who are in authority, that we may
live a quiet and peaceful life with all reverence towards God, who wants
everyone to be saved.
The digits have no faces, unlike them we do. The love produces more
perfect fruits if to see each other face to face.
We want to give you an opportunity to look at other pictures of today's Uzbekistan, pictures of the peaceful labor and hope. We call on all people of good will to not withdraw of their plans related to Uzbekistan under the influence of politically minded information. Put your hope in God!
Pray with us that games of politics and religious extremism will not plunge Uzbekistan into the abyss of civil war.
Please share this information with all people of good will who can
support us in the prayer for Uzbekistan! Share now!
Disclose some prayers about Uzbekistan!
This action is exclusively private
initiative of Christians in Uzbekistan. There is no organization or
political powers which support the action.
