A Letter to the Women & LadyBoys of Chiang Mai

August 27, 2014 by Liz Olson Leave a Comment

You stood on the buyers block. For Sale. Sold to the highest bidder. Your lot in life decided for you, without your input. You didn’t get a vote. Karma. Tradition. Culture. Honor. Poverty. Greed. Human Nature. Lust. Desire. Born into a system that you could not control and could not escape.

Someone told you how much you were worth. The price of your time, your body. This is what you say. This is how you dance. This is how YOU pay your debt.

But…

There is a Man who has already paid for you. He paid your ransom. Your debt. The word Thailand means ‘Land of the Free’. Your freedom has already been bought. Paid for with the blood of the One who has heard your secret cries and prayers.

You’re worth more. He paid more.

You are beautiful. You are not forgotten. You are seen by the One who never looked away. You are seen by me. As I have looked into your eyes, heard your desires, your fears, I have seen such strength. You have faced such struggles, such injustice. You have been lied to, abused, overlooked, disappointed, and forgotten. You are not invisible.

Your name is not prostitute. Your name is not trafficked. Your name is not worthless.

Your name is Redeemed. Loved. Worthy. Free.

Jesus…He loves you. I love you.
