I feel sad for the large number destitute and abondoned young women in this country.
Most of them are from the inner country side, illeterate and very poor. They are abondoned by their so called husbands after satisying their lust and when children are born. Men then move to other preys. This is part of the culture and there is no law to forbid it. Always poor women are at the receiving end.
Yesterday night one sister from the church called me for advise.
She had the same fate earlier in life and now trying to makeup her life herself after believing in Christ.
She told me, some other young woman who looks pregnant and with a small baby in hand is knocking at the door. This sister had acquaintance to this woman's mother.
She is asking for help to be accommondated in the small house for the night.
She has no place to go. She has been driven out by her sister with whom she was staying.
she has no husband, her husband had left her earlier. Now she is pregant through some one else.
She had searched for the house of the sister and some how reached there. It is night and cold outside.
Sister asked me - Brother, what should I do?
I told her- Instead of you, if Jesus was inside the house, what He would have done?
She said - But brother, I have food for myself and my daughter just for oneday, after that I have nothing. I have no money too.
I said - God will Provide.
(My responsiblity does not end here. James 2:15-16 ("15 If a brother or sister be naked, and destitute of daily food, 16 And one of you say unto them, Depart in peace, be ye warmed and filled; notwithstanding ye give them not those things which are needful to the body; what doth it profit? ")
The above incident is not just isolated. There are hundreds of destitute women looking for care, protection, abondoned by husbands and family. This situation often lead them to prostitution for food and money.
Who will take care of them? It is my wild thought and concern.
God has to work for this country, ofcourse through peopel like me.
It is a Macedonian Call.
