the power of men

it surprised me to hear over the last few weeks that most aid organisations focus the resources towards women. ‘we’ve tried with the men’ they say, ‘but you give food to a man and he trades it for beer/gambling whatever. You give food to a woman and she feeds her family.’

most nights before i go to sleep i pray for my Christians sisters around the world…but tonight after watching Hotel Rwanda i pray for the men.

that moment Lord, that moment in time when you gave man free will…that moment, do you ever regret it? knowing good from evil? how could that have corrupted us so much?

My God, on behalf of all the abused women and children of this world, I ask for an awakening of good men. For one moment silence the deceit that deafens their conscience. Show them their illusions of fulfilment. May they find that diamond of truth which is present in each and every one of their hearts.

The father heart
The rescuer
The provider
The hero
May this be the men of our world.
Amen
