We say solidarity; we mean friendship.
A friend is that person who will not mind going an extra length to help. It is said women are the builders and breakers of home, which partly is accurate. However, what has not been mentioned is who women can be detrimental to other women.
Take Mary Magdalene (Mark 16:9), the adulterous woman (John 8:1-11), Rahab, the prostitute (6:25) and many other; these women differ in terms of their characters, career choices and actions. They have been scorned and rejected in times of needs by other women. The same goes on today where some women are happy to snatch their friends’ husbands, backbite one another and unsupportive of other women.
We hold the International Women’s Day, let us think about our roles as women and how we impacted our fellow women. Are we operating right in the will of God when we deal with these women?
Shalom.
