What becomes of a child's perspective on God when the one who is meant to lead and protect, when the one who is meant to teach about purity violates that child's purity at a young age? It is distorted. Trust is broken between the child and the creator-due to the misdeeds of a created being. A person, a man. A priest maybe. These things are received on the gut level and repel children from the God who is capable of healing the destruction caused by a broken/wicked man. Christ suffered as we suffered. Did he get molested? I don't know. But he felt forsaken by God and he felt the undeserved guilt. The guilt of the whole world was laid on him. This is a song I was singing tonight as I thought about this suffering of the children and of Christ:
You cried out,
You cried out,
God you've forsaken me,
You've forsaken me
You cried out,
You cried out
You've forsaken me
You've forsaken me
But you didn't waste your blood on me
You didn't waste your blood on me
You didn't waste your pain on me
Why should I live blind if you help me see?
