No good father will ever raise his children to live as permanent victims of the evil behavior of others. A good father will teach his children to rise above evil and live free of all barriers and injustice suffered at the hands of evil men and women.
Politicians and people who want to manipulate us to support them permanently will always want us to see ourselves as permanent victims of permanent evil so we will vote for them to keep them in power to permanently protect us. It is to their advantage that we remain victims under their control and protection. True freedom is not in their vocabulary.
.
A good father will always tell his children to flee from those who only want to feed from their pain and gain control over their future.
A good father will weep over the injustice but he will never leave his child living the life of a victim.
God, our perfect and permanent Father in heaven, would never want any of his children to live as victims of their past or live in the hope of human protection instead of His protection. God frees all of His children to be free indeed.
To all who have been victimized and suffered injustice at the hands of men Jesus says: “Do not fear, little flock, for it is your Father’s good pleasure to give you the kingdom.” Luke 12:32 Victimization is real but freedom given by the Father in Jesus is our permanent state.
For a Christian to live as a victim is to deny the kind of Father we truly have and reject the teachings of Jesus.
Jesus suffered at the hands of evil men but He never saw himself as a victim.
Disciples of Jesus make no victims and never live as victims. Doing this they are like Jesus.
