Deeds not words. ( James 2 v 18 )

At this time in our country we are remembering the right of women to vote,which the suffragettes fought so bravely for. Yet the fight still goes on for women to be treated in an equal way, in regards pay.Sadly in many places in the world women are still drawing the short straw. No religion has the right to treat women in an unfair way, it is sad that women are still being treated deplorably in the name of religion.One of the cries of the suffragette movement was, ''we want deeds not words'', in other words they wanted something done,they wanted change, and rightly so.We hear a lot about the homeless but it appears to be on the increase,the fact is what we want is deeds not words.I believe it can be overcome, and its time it was,I have often talked to those sleeping rough,one young lad in particular comes to mind,it upset me.There are so many issues in our world that need deeds and not words,there are many governments in this world who need to look at things and say we need to stop that.and then do something about it. I have pictures of  the awful conditions people are living in,it is time  that the cry went up we are going to do something about that situation,there are countries and people are being persecuted and put in prison because they have raised  human right issues,this needs to be stopped. I know that this is a fallen world,there will always be injustice of one sort or another, but those early suffragettes did something about it, the sale of slaves was a blight in our world, but there where those who stood up and did something about it.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                         Dear Lord help us to do something                                                                                                            about  injustice ,and wrong  in this                                                                                                            sinful needy world in Your name                                                                                                              we ask this  .  Amen.
