Reflection 7 (Just a thought it’s not God’s will)

            Crusades is a famous word and as a gamer and a movie fanatic this word always appear. The medieval movies that crusaders appear and even in games. I learned that Crusades is not a game or just a mere movie. The main purpose of crusade is Christians wanted to gain control of the Holy Land Israel and had a profound economic, political, and social impact on the societies involved. And also to take Jerusalem, the Holy Land away from Muslims. They are doing crusades thinking that this is the will of God.
            I learned that Crusade did not happen once but many times. There is this crusade that they used peasants. They traveled for months and this people survived because their body is used to taking the heat of the sun and survival. But they were defeated because this people doesn’t have a battle experience. Also there this Crusade that they used children to go and attack Jerusalem in the purpose of claiming back the Holy City. This is the brutal side of Crusade that people is killing other people in the name of Jesus and for the Church.
            There are instances that I thought I am in the will of God but it’s just the opposite. I need to be sensitive in the call of God. Sensitive in the direction that God wants me to go or he wanted me to detour the path that I am following. For maybe the path does not already glorifying Him, for this is the purpose of my life.
