Christian teachings impress upon us that internally displaced people is not in keeping with God’s design for community building. By their very status internally displaced people are among the most vulnerable group of people-alienated from their familiar habitations and prey to those with ill will towards others. Jesus Christ teaches those who follow him that he “desires mercy and not sacrifice” (Matthew 12:7). Mercy is motivated by none else than the desire to love above all else. Love does not rejoice at wrong but rejoices in right. (1Cor.13:6) Love encourages hope.
May the love of God bind everything in perfect harmony. (Col.3:14)
