So I've been watching some documentaries on TV about Syria and refugees fleeing their country by boat, travelling weeks to months by sea - crossing to Greece, Turkey, Hungary, Croatia, Estonia. Germany and even England. Anywhere, just anywhere, they just want to get away from their devastated land - Babies, toddlers, children, old people in tow..... most do not wish to go back, Ever... Some were beaten, tortured by corrupt authorities. Just when they thought crossing the sea was the hardest part they had to overcome, they end up facing more serious challenges - place to stay with kids, getting legal residency, facing discrimination for being Syrians, not able to find any jobs, separated from family, etc... My heart broke, I cried... I told God I wish there was something I could do for them. They just want to live normal, peaceful lives. There are not terrorists and want nothing to do with terrorism nor radical Islam. The documentary showed a British family opening their doors to one Syrian refugee, who later flew his wife and kids over. He's probably one of the few fortunate ones. Should we as Christians open our doors to them ? Would you trust a Syrian enough to help them and shelter them ? I live in a country where there NO refugees whatsoever, so I really do not know what I'll do if I met refugees like that.
