Case of Economic Abuse

I tried my very best to avoid any case at all, but it has been 2 years since they let me see my son. Recently, the father's lawyers wrote that they would try to get custody of my son, the one who lives with me, Immanuel.

I will not let that happen, so I responded with an economic abuse case, on the fact that the "father" has never supported financially consistently, and I can count with my ten fingers the times he ever gave anything. How then can he now say that he wants custody of my son?

I've tried to talk to the father and the family, but they won't budge. They feel they are strong because they have more money, and they can afford the long term litigation that is the norm in the Philippines.

I've tried many times to speak to the father outside court, but he will not budge. He does not let me see my son who lives with him. He has now, in light of this economic abuse case, sworn that Immanuel is not his son. This has reduced my respect for him to zero.

I wrote a letter that said that I forgive him for all the times he did not support me, because as I was reading the bible, the New testament said that one should avoid law suits at all costs. Also, that for whatever debt was needed, Jesus paid for it. This means that though this man, by not fulfilling his obligations as father, has caused a lot of trouble in my life, and cost me a lower quality of life, I should consider that these debts are paid by my Jesus. So I did.

Jesus, by his blood and sacrifice, has paid for all our sins. Would I be a true lover of Christ if I did not count even the sins of my father as one of the things that Jesus erased? Also, do I not love Him to hell and back, enough to say, if my pains in life is for Jesus, then it is an offering of love. It is a gift for someone so worthy of ALL MY LOVE. This Yeshue, allows me to forgive, becuase forgiveness is just love - the hardest most precious kind- becuase it is love for those who do not deserve it. Also, forgiveness is divine, becuase God gave me forgiveness, even if I did not deserve it. It is an outflow of God's perfection, and as God gives it, I also am given that fullness of heart to give it. So this is what I did. Ofcourse I know, it sort of sets the whole case askew. However, what I want isn't money. It is justice.

It is also my obligation not to let evil thrive. They want to bully my silence because they believe I have no worldly power, no great sum of wealth, and no political means. They should know I have one thing, and that one thing is all the difference. I have GOD.

This is my reading for this situation:

Psalm 54

Rulers, does your silence really speak justice?

Are you judging people fairly?

NO! In you r hearts you devise wrongs,

Your hands dispense injustice in the land.

From the womb the wicked are estranged,

Liars on the wrong path since birth.

Their venom is like the snake's venom,

They are like a serpent that stops its ears

So as not to hear the voice of the charmer,

No matter how well he plays.

God break their teeth in their mouth!

Shatter the fangs of these lions, Yahweh! May they vanish like water that drains away

May they be like a slug that melts as it moves

Like a stillborn baby that never sees the sun

Before your cook pots feel the heat of the burning thorns,

May he blow them away, greens and dried alike

(I read this twice, once when I was cooking chicken with parsley and I thought that the parsley would burn on the pan for lack of oil, and it did. Another when I was cooking broccoli with water, and still burnt it! So I figured when it comes to cooking vegetables, I have to always include enough water- but God is saying the evil will be burnt up, whether the greens are dry or wet.. and that is how I know this refers to the present situation also)

The righteous will rejoice to see vengance done

They will wash their feet in the blood of the wicked

And people will say, "yes the righteous are rewarded.

There is after all, a God who judges the Earth."

My case changed hands from the original drawing of lots and since before I got a reading that said, put a wicked man over him, I feel they might have paid to prolong the case or to put it in their favor. Whether they did or did not, I know eventually justice will come from God.
