Inexcusable
To me, the worst nightmare anyone could face is
the fear of being abused by someone you love. Domestic violence is inexcusable
and those who so treat another in such a way need to be dealt with accordingly
The problem has reached epidemic proportions in
our "advanced society." We read of spousal abuse, elderly abuse, child
abuse and even parent abuse. (One mother, following her son's 18th birthday,
left after her son went to school never to return because of his abuse.)
What has happened in our ' learned society' that
has brought so much pain and suffering into the lives of innocent and helpless
victims? I do not know where to lay the blame and I suppose every expert
living has his/her own opinion
What does God say about it? Be sure, He is not
ignorant to the plight of innocent victims. He said in one place " . .
. the Lord has been a witness between you and the wife of your youth against
whom you have dealt treacherously . . ." He said in another place that
of husbands mistreat their wives don't bother to pray, because God is not
listening.
Want things to be different? Give your life to God.
