Courage To Speak Up

[Christ4Ever]

Speak up for those who cannot speak for themselves, for the rights of all who are destitute. Proverbs 31:8 NIV

You may not like thinking about it, but many millions of people worldwide--even right here in the United States--are in places and situations of overwhelming suffering. The hungry, the homeless, the enslaved, and the infirm can be found in every community, and in many cases, they have no one to stand up and speak out on their behalf. That's a terrible kind of loneliness most people have no idea even exists.

One example of this kind of suffering is that of modern-day slaves. Today, there are more slaves working worldwide than at any time in human history. Millions of people worldwide are held against their will and forced to work as sex slaves, domestic slaves, and commercial slaves.

God may not have laid it on your heart to speak out against the enslavement and mistreatment of human beings--but then again, He may have--but you don't have to look far to find those who need someone to speak out for them.

Ask God to show you who needs someone to speak for them. And when He shows you who it is, trust Him enough to speak and act with courage.

Prayer: Father, help me to trust You and what You're taught me in Your Word enough to be a voice for those who can't speak up for themselves.

The sex slave industry is the worse of all. White slavery -- whatever a person calls it. Young girls are kidnapped or sold for drugs into that horrible world. Kids survive on the streets by selling their bodies. They grow up in that mess. Don't / can't get out of it without help.

Dear Sister @Sue D. ,
Sadly, a situation that without the Lord will continue on, so we give voice to our legislatures, and most importantly our Prayers that little by little this cruelty and depravity will one day end. Also, praying for those who are in the clutches of such evil, that they may find peace in our Lord one day. For those who perpetrate such atrocities may their judgments be true in Christ Jesus, and yet may they too know our Lord as their Savior, and change from their wicked ways.

I liked your post not for the content, but for bringing to light and adding your voice to such ugliness that exists in the World, that few want to even give thought to. Thank-you Sister.

With the Love Christ Jesus.

Dear Sister, @Sue D.
I found this article while doing some other research that you might find comforting and also helpful in finding how one might get involved. That is if you find yourself drawn by the Holy Spirit to be involved.

What is the END IT Movement?

Maybe you've seen a celebrity, pastor, politician, or friend with a red X on their hand and wondered what it's all about.
