"We must learn to look less at what people do or don't do and more at what they suffer." (Dietrich Bonhoeffer)
That's kind of hard to do, don't you think? We read daily about people who destroy their own lives and others. I doubt our thinking leads us to what they are suffering, but more along the lines of what were they thinking?! We are saddened, distraught about the life that has been destroyed and are angry at that one who caused it to happen. We often don't think about what was going on in their own life to reach this point of extreme despair. I suppose that is the point of a court trial. But not everything that is comes out in court.
God says all of life is worth living -- the life that was snuffed out, the life of the one who did the snuffing. He does the judging as well.
Each.
You
and
me
worthy
of
God's love.
He is
creator
sustainer
redeemer.
We
walk
in
view
of
Him.
He
sees
all.
Our
secrets
are
known
to
Him.
Our
actions
reveal
our
heart.
God
sees
all.
All
that
we
do
or
don't
do
God sees.
All
of
everything
you and I
do or don't do
will be judged.
Jesus,
The Almighty One,
The One Most High
He
rules
yesterday
today
tomorrow
No other
before
or after
has
this power.
He rules.
We will be judged.
Not all
will be
judged
righteous.
Some will be damned.
