Matthew 25:35-39 KJV
[35] For I was an hungred, and ye gave me meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me drink: I was a stranger, and ye took me in: [36] Naked, and ye clothed me: I was sick, and ye visited me: I was in prison, and ye came unto me. [37] Then shall the righteous answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee an hungred, and fed thee ? or thirsty, and gave thee drink? [38] When saw we thee a stranger, and took thee in? or naked, and clothed thee ? [39] Or when saw we thee sick, or in prison, and came unto thee?
When Charles went to juvenile detention for a plea bargained mitigation of a monstrous charge, he received support, letters, cards, an outpouring of support.
I attributed this odd behavior from “good people” (rewarding a child abuser) thus–
- They did not trust our report?
- They did not full understand the devastation of his felonies
- Or Matthew 25 oh, somebody in prison? I better get in on that reward!
Could have been something else, but whatever the motivations, his victims often did not get the same level of support he did. The people who comforted Charles did not comfort his victims.
Only two people outside our family confronted him on his sins.
To this day he does not acknowledge
What he did was wrong
There are lots of hard parts within the gaps between what the
Lord and the Righteous see
