...or you did not receive the blessing of the mmm Shaka!
Fact is, I have not found any church that is equipped to handle a person who may have grown up like little Beth. She has exceptional parents who recognizes that there were big problems. For the most part, children like this go unnoticed or are cast aside as rebellious.
It is amazing to me that a 6-year-old acted out on an act that was done to her repeatedly while she was one-year-old. This goes to show us humans that people have reasons why they are the way they are. We may not always be aware of those reasons, but our subconscious is. And so is God.
So yes, I agree that maybe God judges, not based upon appearance, but upon all that he knows about us and what happens to us in our lifetime.
