Jesus Christ is the only person who spoke of unconditional forgiveness, even towards personal enemies. How, in countries at war since generations, can any person or nation find peace unless we at some point forgive and leave God to judge over our enemies, if he so chooses. It has been discovered that, if we do not forgive, we hurt ourselves more than those we hate. I have reached the conclusion that Christ's message about forgiveness is the only practical solution for a nation's wounds, and the only way to true unity. One of the greatest requirements for becoming a good leader.
Many leaders follow their desire for power, their greed and their own interests.
Once they achieve prominence, they suddenly forget the people around them, with their poverty and needs. They forget that they could become great instruments of help for their countries, and behave like small kings and dictators. Only if we humbly recognise that those with great responsibility are in truth only servants of God and people will we be able to lead our peoples out of their third-world existence into a new future. If you have time to pray for me, please pray that God will give me the strength, wisdom and understanding to be humble. I find it fascinating to see that since centuries, those people who made great contributions to human development were united in their belief that life's highest goal is to seek God and to love him with all your heart, mind, soul and strength.
