“Let him who has ears to hear and him who has eyes to see”

Read Zecharich 3:1-7

JOSHUA 1:9

Have I not commanded you?  Be strong and courageous.  Do not be terrified; do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go. (NIV)

My beloved sons,

            Know that I still love you and always will.  I forgive you for the horrible things you have done to your mother and me.  I pray that you will ask God to forgive you before you leave this life.  This fight is against the devil who rules this world.  I would have put my head in a bear’s mouth if he attacked you when you were little and I will fight the demon who has destroyed our lives until my last breath for your precious soles.

LUKE 12:2&3

There is nothing concealed that will not be disclosed, or hidden which will not be made known.  What you have said in the dark will be heard in the daylight, and what you have whispered in the ear in the inner rooms will be proclaimed from the roofs. (NIV)

            There are no perfect parents.  Yours gave you the best they could of worldly things…and all their hearts could give of love for you.

            You admit that we backed you in everything.  Even when you were wrong…as we later learned.  There should be a lesson in that to you.  But, when you needed us we were there.  Twice at least your father tried to make deals with God for your lives.

            When a pale and frail three-year-old lay in an oxygen tent with pneumonia and when an eight-year-old was hospitalized with a possibly serious heart condition I asked God to take me instead of my babies.

            While I meant that with all my heart…it was not the proper way to approach God.  He knew what was meant by the prayers of your mother and me and granted those prayers and allowed you to grow strong and tall.

            As close as we were…why could you not have just looked me in the eye and asked for my side of the fantastic story you took to heart so easily?  Why did reason not enter in the process when you were asked to believe that I had done those terrible things while you were only a few feet away?

ZECHARIAH 8: 16 & 17

These are the things you are to do: Speak the truth to each other, render true and sound judgment in your courts; do not plot evil against your neighbor, and do not love to swear falsely. “I hate all this” declares the Lord.

Oldest son…you know how much we had talked about your wife’s problems and your suspicions about something similar being done to your children.  Your description of her supposed attack by her grand-father were exactly the same things she had your daughter say I had done to her…not similar…exactly the same!  You denied this in court but you know in your heart about our discussions and your request that I did not discuss this even with your mother.  How could you believe me to be so-stupid as to do something to your children at my home after you told me those things the day we were wiring your new house.  I knew you were about to accuse someone and that you were looking for an adult perpetrator!

Go back and listen to that video tape your brother left running that day…listen closely…your children’s voices are not absent from the tape for longer than two minutes!  Please get in touch with your conscience and ask how you allowed that tape to be altered to exclude evidence that would have proved my innocence?

Youngest son…you know that your wife purposely created a false situation that kept you from us through a Christmas that was so dear to us.  Remember bringing your daughter to our home to get her gifts some time after Christmas when your brother told you the truth about what really happened?  Remember your reaction toward her at that time?  Would she do it again and put your daughter through hell to gain her revenge against us even through we never showed her anything but love?  You answer that one.  You should have listened to your daughter when she denied this at first.  All the truly scientific studies show how easy it is to brainwash a child that age.  Those techniques were used on your child.

Oldest son…you should not have allowed your son to be pounded for all those months when he repeatedly denied the things his mother swore to get him to say in a discussion with your Aunt.  You should have listened to your daughter when she said that I had hurt her arm and told her I was sorry, I did! At the last visit to your home that we made.  She and your son were crawling all over my shoulders as we sat on the couch and she fell…I caught her by the arm as she fell…it also prevented her from a worse injury.  The suggestive questions you asked after that are an extremely effective form of brainwashing.  Whether you intended to or not you helped the process along.

ZECHARIAH 3: 1-6

            May God lead you to see the truth and come to me and start the process to reverse this madness.  Put aside your anger…there was never any need for fear even through you both tried to convince the world I intended to harm you.  You can come to see me whenever you decide to…you owe it to me for the good years of your upbringing.  Be man enough to finally look me in the eye and hear my side…I submit to you that you will go away convinced that the whole thing was a terrible mistake.  Know this…my honor is intact and if it means dying in this place I will never admit guilt.  My grandchildren will never in their lives see a piece of paper that I signed admitting those things ever happened.  I n their minds they know that and will someday step away from you and tell the world the truth.

            God have mercy on your families and you.  I never hurt them and God know it…I believe He will set things right some day…I still hope to see you all in heaven.

QUOTE FROM DR. CHARLES STANLEY

It is so easy to hate but it requires great strength to love, especially those who despise you.  There is a great peace and joy that come when you let go of bitterness and anger.
