During his session at the Justice Summit last week, Jamie McIntosh from International Justice Mission Canada painted a beautiful image of what the modern day abolitionist movement is like:

“We are all a thread, woven together into a beautiful tapestry used to keep others warm.”

I love that.  We fill in each other’s gaps. We all contribute different colours.  Each design complements the next.  Some threads are bold and bright, others subtle and slight.

Let us not become weary in doing good or wallow in the lie that our contribution is not significant. Instead let’s pick our thread, weave with purpose, and together create something beautiful that blesses those crying out for justice.
