Women why do you keep keep suffering?
This morning I was reading Judges 19:25-29.I think this is the most horrible story in the entire Bible but I feel that it is really important to talk about this woman and all the women like her in the world today.I hate this story.I wish it... had never happened.Yet it did and it is still happening... every day.
Do you know that in the Republic of Congo rape is being used as a weapon of war.So many women have been raped, mutilated, and abused in Congo that it is now being called "The War Against Women." They estimate that millions of women and girls have been raped, usually gang raped, and that this violence is still on the rise. Just a month ago the news reported that 200 women and 4 baby boys (ages one month, six months, a year and 18 months) were raped within miles of an U.N. peacekeeping base.
As I've thought and prayed about this concubine's story, and the stories of all the women like her in the world, one thought keeps coming to my mind...When men are wicked, women and children suffer. This woman's story has helped me see that one of the most important things we can do to improve women's status in the world and to prevent more suffering is to raise our sons to love and respect women the way Christ loves and respect women.
I believe that the most powerful and influential women are mothers.As mothers it is important that we strengthen, support and teach our children especially our sons....about life and what pain a woman goes through....teach them to love and obey the CREATOR with all of THEIR heart and mind and soul.Teach your children, both daughters and sons how to love and respect each other...IF NOT WOMEN WILL KEEP SUFFERING.
