Pedophiles don’t realize the impact of their actions. They’re feeding a need within themselves but the carnage is deeply felt.
I knew someone in high school who was being molested by her step father. One night she told us and the screams tore through everyone present. I knew something was off. I used to do her mother’s hair and I noticed she and her brother were treated poorly. They were from a different marriage and he was very unkind.
When she said the words I knew she was telling the truth. My spirit groaned and we wept with her. It began at 3 and she turned within and created a world that was safe. We understood the lies and inconsistencies and the damage the decision to remain with the abuser had wrought to her children. She chose him in spite of the truth. That was her undoing.
We discovered the meaning of compassion that night and how you can’t judge a book by its cover. We found agape in the midst of her wails and tremors and wrapped our arms around her and gave her what she never had...
Love.
