The girl in my story is also 'hurt' because her father is not (really) a part of her life anymore, and will barely be so again. She is also hurt because her mother still wants to be with him and she does not really understand that it's not her fault.
Its that darn 'righteousness' -- that both her and her mother fail to recognize.
So where is the line where we forfeit righteousness in order to make little girls happy? Lets ask God about all the little girls who drowned in the flood.
Still stuck in the Old Testament ehh?
As Christians we don't hurt little children when it can be avoided. It could have been avoided but for the pharisees rush to be publically righteous. They sicken me as much as the mom.
