It was evening time and a man was walking home with his son.
They were crossing the street when his wallet dropped. While he stopped to pick it, the little boy ran across the street.
A car that was coming knocked the little boy down but instead of stopping the driver sped off. The father stood there shouting at the driver and screaming at him to stop and strangely when that failed he started chasing after the car. He stopped a motor bike and got on it knowing the car would have to stop by all means at the police barrier which was ahead. He urged the motorcycle rider to speed up and to catch up with the car.
Truly they met up with the driver at the police barrier, where the driver had stopped and gone in to the small office to report himself. The father came into the office and immediately held the driver by neck and started slapping him before the police could hold him. The driver was just pleading and saying he was sorry and that he did not see the little boy and he was afraid that people around may lynch him and that is why he had sped off to the police.
The police asked the father where the little boy was and the father told them he was at the accident site. The police asked if the little boy had died instantly and the father said he did not know. The police personnel were shocked that the father had thought it was more important to catch a culprit than to see to the life of the son. They got back in the driver’s car and drove off to the accident site but the boy was not there.
Some people around there said a car had picked up the boy and sent him towards the hospital. At the hospital the doctors examined the little boy and did all they could and at the end they declared that had the boy been brought a little bit earlier he could have lived. The question that goes through my mind is:
Who killed the little boy?
Many of us in situations and circumstances of life chase after judgment, vengeance and condemnation instead of salvation and restoration.
Many have lost precious things including their very own souls because they sought vengeance for crimes and evils done them instead of pursuing the purpose of God for their lives and leaving all else to God.
Don't take it on yourself to repay a wrong. Trust the LORD and he will make it right. (Pro 20:22 GNB)
Beloved, never avenge yourselves, but leave it to the wrath of God, for it is written, "Vengeance is mine, I will repay, says the Lord. Stay blessed.
