"In Rama was there a voice heard, lamentation, and weeping, and great mourning, Rachel weeping for her children, and would not be comforted, because they are not." Mt 2:18
My heart is broken for the Thompson family, whose child was abducted Monday while walking home from school. Her tiny body was found yesterday in a landfill in Georgia.
My mind reels when something like this happens. I heard someone once say, "I don't care if it walks upright and brushes its teeth, if it would do something like this, its not human." I disagree. Animals kill for survival or out of fear. Only a human being has the thought process-decision, planning, selection, implementation-to carry out such a despicable, sickening deed. Whoever this person or persons are, they have destroyed a beautiful, loving and innocent life simply because they could. They have proven themselves to be the lowest of the low; human waste, fit only for that trash heap where they left her broken, violated body.
Many years ago, my Pastor, Ray Dupre, stood before our small congregation and prayed that God would, for that one day, throughout our land, stay the hand of the child abuser; that, for 24 hours, no child would feel threatened, feel pain, or face death at the hands of a parent, friend or abductor. Call me silly--though I never checked it out, I fully believed God heard and honored that prayer. I believe He still will. I am calling on all of us who trust Him to kneel before him on behalf of children everywhere, asking His Hand of protection on them. I am asking as well for His guidance for the authorities to find the evil muderer(s), bring them to justice, and get them off our streets. I'm sorry if I say this too strongly, but I no longer care about their rights or protection. They certainly cared nothing about Somer Thompson.

ReplyDeleteAMEN Joey, my heart is heavy every single time I hear about this kind of unbelievable evil. It makes me sick to the core and I feel so helpless to do anything to stop it. We always think it happens to others, but not to us. Oh merciful God in heaven, I plead the blood of Jesus over our innocent babies, whether mine, yours or others. The one great consolation in these situations is this, they went straight to the arms of our loving Savior, Jesus Christ, to never be hurt again. This child will forever be in heaven where there is love, joy, peace and safety for all eternity. And I remember Brother Dupre praying that prayer. I also remember him relaying the times his mother would wake all the children up in the middle of the night to pray for someone, somewhere and he believed for that one night all was safe because of his mother's prayers. I hope I have the same impact on mine.
