This particular outbreak has only been 2 weeks but the battle for the land has gone on for over 5 decades. The spirit of the war on the other hand has lasted over 3 millennia.At this point most adults, young and old, have their minds already set. Most people have already taken sides. If you were born in certain regions, your mind is made up as a child. I say all that to say this, I’m not expecting this message to change minds. I hope it’ll appeal to some hearts and cause a rethinking of position taken, or perhaps trigger some introspective thought, but I’ve come to realize that only God can really change mindsets and break strongholds that keep young (and old) minds captive.I hope this open letter finds a place in your heart.
