Human Life, watercolour on cotton 

Day 16

This brokenness in human life and community      
     is an outcome of sin.
Sin is not only personal       
     but accumulates       
     to become habitual and systemic forms       
     of injustice, violence, and hatred.  

Remembering that Christ comes to reconcile, not condemn, where can you identify brokenness in human life and community? Can you name systemic forms of injustice, violence and hatred? How do you benefit from systemic forms of injustice? Pray for a world steeped in systemic forms of injustice.
