Strength in weakness

2 Corinthians 12:9-10

"And He said to me, 'My grace is sufficient for you, for My strength is made perfect in weakness.' Therefore most gladly I will rather boast in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me. Therefore I take pleasure in infirmities, in reproaches, in needs, in persecutions, in distresses, for Christ’s sake. For when I am weak, then I am strong." 

Of all the nations in the world North Korea is recognised to be among the worst offenders against Christians. Over 30,000 Christians are thought to be labouring in concentration camps. Tens of thousands of citizens, including a high percentage of Christians, have defected to neighbouring South Korea. Many people in South Korea fear for the safety of family members in North Korea. Many have lost touch with family after the Korean war in the early 1950s. The results of that war still affect people on either side of the border.

Today we in Europe face a similar issue. Thousands upon thousands of people pushed out of their country through war and intolerance.

Lord
Remember those who feel
Shut out
Pushed out
Out manoeuvred
The fragile
The fearful
The forgotten
May your Spirit strive within us
To seek peace
To search with others for unity
To break down walls
So that all may feel welcome
