The Story of what happened to “Louise de Waal” is really a sad story and we all wish that we could have done something to the guy that did this to her, We should ask our self’s “What Would Jesus Do” – “WWJD”The Bible shows us “WWJD” “You have heard that it was said, ‘An eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth.’ But I say to you, Do not resist the one who is evil. But if anyone slaps you on the right cheek, turn to him the other also. “You have heard that it was said, ‘You shall love your neighbor and hate your enemy.’ But I say to you, Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, so that you may be sons of your Father who is in heaven. For he makes his sun rise on the evil and on the good, and sends rain on the just and on the unjust. For if you love those who love you, what reward do you have? Do not even the tax collectors do the same? (Matthew 5:38, 39, 43-46 ESV)1 “Judge not, that you be not judged.2 For with the judgment you pronounce you will be judged, and with the measure you use it will be measured to you. (Matthew 7:1 ESV)Yes we are all human and want to take revenge on this guy and let him suffer the same way that Louise did. But this then makes us the same as him and no different and we don’t show the people that we are Christians and we live our life as God requested of us to live it.However what we should be doing is pray that this guy actually find GOD and repent.And that we should move our focus to her family and friend, the people in need of some comfort.The people that wish’s all bad things on to this guy. Don’t get me wrong. I’m just as guilty as I also wish’s things on to this guy, and would have liked to get my hands on him, but the I’ve noticed to myself that this is not What Jesus would have done.4 “Blessed are those who mourn, for they shall be comforted. (Matthew 5:4)We should comfort / lift up each other’s spirits and believe in what GOD’s plan is with our livesas we do not know what our lives will hold.Prayer:Lord forgive us for what we wished upon this guy that hurt our dear friend, as we are human and would like to see judgment, We keep forgetting that you will judge us and this guy.Lord we ask that you lead us on the right path to live our lives as your Son thought us.Lord I ask that you put your hands over Louise’s family and friends in this time of sorrow. And give them peace in there harts to know that Louise is at your feet, save ,no discomfort, full of join and laughter. We ask this in your sons holy name AMEN
