Prayer For Oldest Daughter
Porter:
My wife and I thank you all for the prayers and advice.
--- Quote from: Wittenberg on December 31, 2015, 12:50:48 AM ---Definitely will/am praying for the situation.
One thing I do when I have unforgiven ness. I picture the person I have anger towards and I imagine them as they will be when they are glorified in Christ. In your case, picture how the abusive boyfriend will be. He will have a deep love for your daughter and for those that he caused pain to. For where there is much forgiveness there is much love. Your forgiveness will be a source of love in his eternal life. You will also spend eternity with a special bond with another member of Christ body. I pray for you that you can bring that forgiveness to earth as it is in Heaven.

Great reminder and good advice, thanks Wittenberg.

Well I think if I were to visit him in jail I might be tempted to stay a little longer, because reasons. ;) Otherwise thanks for the godly advice. I will consider it.
He's gonna be in there for 2 years from what I hear. And Alice has already expressed she'll be waiting for him. :o I hope and pray she changes her mind before then.

Prayers for you and daughter.
I often think if confronting people in some harsh way what good would actually come from my action if I did so. Not only would they be worse off but so would I.

So very true Rhys. I think it would be very selfish and even hypocritical of me to act harshly toward him. It's so easy to want to do the wrong thing, so hard to want to do the right thing. Thank God He is there to save me from myself.
Also an update. Alice actually was able to visit her family today! What a relief. Everyone cried after seeing her face so badly beaten. My wife took a pic of her to show me and my heart sank.
Again thank you all for the prayers, God heard you. :)

John from Kentucky:
Why does your daughter tolerate being beat up by a boyfriend?
Why don't you take the pictures of your abused daughter to the police and have criminal charges brought against her thug boyfriend?
Has not God shown you a way out of this problem?
If the thug is locked up for a longer time, then you will have more time for your daughter to regain her senses.

Hello,Porter
I agree with JFK,I would do all of what God allows me to do ,even if my daughter will hate me for awhile, because its for her own good.
If doing right is wrong ,I don't want to be right.
My prayers for both of you.
Walt
