The cost of reconciliation

A thought for the day... Much like any other gain in the world, to break the inertia of our world takes great sacrifice and energy (I am trying to get fit at the moment... It is not easy!) Here's a challenging quote about the work of mercy and justice.

Reconciliation should be accompanied by justice, otherwise it will not last. While we all hope for peace, it shouldn't be peace at any cost but peace based on principle, on justice.

- Corazon Aquino,
political leader and president (1986-92) of the Philippines.

PS. My Kenya trip has been put on hold for this week. Thanks God! It will be good to be in Cape Town until Sunday to spend some time with my wonderful family and catch up on some work in the office. The reason for putting the trip on hold is that the corporate airplane had an engine fault and they could not get parts here before Friday. So, the boss and two of the directors have flown up commercially to do the most necessary meetings. I am grateful!

Here's a little QIK video with one or two thoughts on this... Once again, nothing profound, just a thought or two that may spark some ideas and reflection.

As always, I appreciate feedback!

Be courageous! Be faithful! Be Christlike!

People who have been estranged or at enmity can be reconciled to each other, if they want peace. But you cannot have peace at any pricer.

Good cannot be reconciled with evil.

If the estrangement was caused by something fundamentally evil, then you cannot have reconciliation without repentance. And that is the problem with those seeking a "reconciliation" in Zimbabwe today.
