I see wicked people all around me not being held accountable for the evil that emanates from their pores. They are successful beyond belief without a care in the world. Their followers chant how great they are. God, that’s not fair! Why don’t You do something?
I have never experienced war, but I imagine living through it would impact my perspective on vengeance. I recall my grandmother’s bitterness toward those who killed her loved ones. Would she be justified in wishing ill on whole nations, asking God to give them what was coming to them?
I am a thief. I shoplifted multiple times from a department store when I was in Jr High. And I never got caught. Even though, I didn’t feel good about it, I wasn’t ready to plead for God’s mercy.
My husband and I said early on that we were not going to blame each other. But I still cannot help but wonder if we brought about Nicholas’ death with sin.
