Why are women so often so oppressed?
I wish I knew.
An Indian friend of mine, Richard Samuel, and his family run a home for abandoned women in the southern state of Madurai. "How could someone abandon a woman?" I wondered when he first told me. In the north of India, widows are flocking to the city of Vrindavan to find refuge. Of course I've told plenty about what they do to get help in Thailand.
learn to do right!
Seek justice,
encourage the oppressed.
Defend the cause of the fatherless,
plead the case of the widow.
"Come now, let us reason together,"
says the LORD.
"Though your sins are like scarlet,
they shall be as white as snow;
though they are red as crimson,
they shall be like wool.
Isaiah 1:17-18
Verse 18 is quoted frequently to illustrate God's forgiveness. I have seldom however seen it connected with verse 17. Something to think about. Pleading--begging, fighting for their cause goes hand in hand with being clean in God's eyes. Guess I'd better sleep on this one.
