Presidents shouting across the world at each other,
threatening and bragging that each has the firepower to bring the other country
to its knees. Each feeling superior.
Through the streets of Charlottesville they marched, dressed
in basic costumes which send chills down the spine, brandishing flags and
bristling with arms as massive as AK-47s. Feeling superior.
‘As long as there is gender inequality, we will have
domestic abuse.’ Words I heard today at an informative session run by Grampian
Women’s Aid, in which we learned the appalling fact that 1 in 4 women in the UK
suffers domestic abuse, and 2 women die from such assault every week.
Jesus said to love our neighbours as ourselves. We are all
children of God. In Christ there is no Jew nor gentile, no male nor female, but
all are the same in God’s eyes. Jesus is the Prince of Peace.
Praying tonight
for his kingdom to come, his will to be done on earth as it is in heaven.
