Bearing God’s Image

Ruth 2:22 

​Naomi said to Ruth, “Yes, daughter, it will be better for you to work with the women in Boaz’ field. You might be molested if you went to someone else’s field.”  So Ruth worked with them and gathered grain until all the barley and wheat had been harvested. And she continued to live with her mother-in-law.

 

Quote

D. Bonhoeffer from ‘Life Together’ “I can no longer condemn or hate a brother for whom I pray, no matter how much trouble he causes me.” 

 

​We may well hear difficult news today 

from our media - local and international 

Of our brothers and sisters being killed, hurt or molested.

We pray with compassion for those damaged, hurt and injured 

and in Christ’s name and as His people 

we pray for those responsible.

They are not aliens created by a lesser God,

but are humans, bearing your image.

You call us to challenge them through love and in love

To change their directions, admit their faults and

be all they were created to be.
