Sometimes, it is really difficult to post some things. Trying to be vague in details to protect the innocent, will sometimes have the effect of protecting the guilty. So, as this is weighing very heavily on me today, I will only talk in vague terms and silently convict the guilty.
When one person makes a selfish decision, it not only impacts their own lives, but those of so many more. It impacts your family, all those who know you, your friends and coworkers, your spiritual family, and even people who never met you. It impacts your victims and their family, their friends, coworkers, spiritual family, and casual acquaintances. The impact can be subtle and not so subtle. The impact is long term and has many still unforeseen consequences.
I've often heard people ask how God can allow bad things to happen to good people. But, God allows the rain to fall on the just and the unjust. He allows free will. He allows the guilty to make victims of the innocent. He also allows us to rally around the innocent to try and protect them. He allows us to decide how we want to deal with our anger and hurt. It all boils down to choice.
I know that everything happens for a reason. I also know better than to question God when I can't see the reason. It is there, we just have to wait a bit and keep searching.
So, as you make your choice today, think about how long term those choices can be.
