Guest Post From Emmanuel Boison
Please, mum and dad, allow her to be a better person than she was. Don’t give up on her yet. Don’t discourage her also, for God has a plan for her.
Would you ever let it go? Would she forever be paying for who she was, knowing very well she can do little about her yesterday?
She doesn’t complain when you allow her sisters to receive male visitors in their rooms, with the doors closed, whilst she sits hers at the porch.
She doesn’t whine when you calmly ask her siblings for excuses, when they miss Sunday service, but harshly attack her when she misses a midweek service.
She only wishes you would for once, for the love of God, cease reminding her that her big sister is still a virgin, and she’s not.
At least, acknowledge that though she is not where you wish for her to be, she’s not where she used to be. They’re all working together for her good.
Don’t you have confidence in this very truth, that He who began a good work in her will perfect it until the day of Christ Jesus?
The Bible has taught her to believe that because of His love, God chose her in Christ to be holy and blameless; that she is holy and without fault in the eyes of God.
So why don’t you drop the tags, and believe that God is not through with her yet, that there is hope for everybody, even her?
Mum and Dad, shouldn’t you be the last people in the world to add your voice to the accuser of the brethren, and make her feel guilty for her dirty past?
Yet, you press her so much her heavy heart takes solace in the hymn: “I need no other argument, I need no other plea; it is enough that Jesus died, and that he died for me”.
Please Mum and Dad, tell her who she is in Christ, tell her who she can become in His love.
