Reflections on Justice

DAY 19 OF 31

Deep within every woman’s heart is a longing for justice, for a world where goodness prevails.

Yet, we witness a world embroiled in conflict, with pleas for help often ignored. The war in Myanmar has drenched the soil in the blood of the innocent, prompting us to ponder: ‘Who is my neighbour?’ (Luke 10:29). This strife is more than headline news; it’s a devastating story of disrupted lives and dreams destroyed.

As believers, our hearts break for our neighbours in Myanmar, suffering the civil war’s brutalities, leaving millions displaced and lives in ruins. Our neighbour is a mother in Myanmar, embracing her child as they flee to the jungle’s safety. It’s the father, grieving his wife’s loss and the children whose innocence is stolen by war’s relentless cruelty. Their anguish calls to us, urging us to embody Christ’s love and seek justice for our global neighbours.

Challenge: Embrace the call of Luke 10:27; love transcends borders. Act now – pray and advocate for those in need. Let’s unite in compassion, seeking justice and peace for our global neighbours.

Prayer: Lord, drape those who are suffering in your mercy. Comfort the grieving, empower the weary, inspire the fearful. Shield the innocent, mend the broken, and sustain all amidst the chaos.
