Deuteronomy 21:23, Galatians 3:13
"...for anyone who is hung is cursed in the sight of God..."
The man is cursed, and his kind... and the man's land.
It is a horrible thing. I have often asked why. Through the years the Holy Spirit has confirmed to me as why.
We are to raise our son's and daughters as trees, shall I say like trees, shall I say metaphorically as trees. Spiritually, protect them when they are young. Prune them, help them grow straight up and shine. Produce fruit if that is given to them. Not all trees produce fruit, but are beautiful.
When I found the closest of my family members, as children, cut down over and over again, till only a bush existed, I wondered how can God use these people? They are not trees, people yes, but not trees. When a tree is cut up over and over again and still lives, it becomes a bush. Till today - As I write more and more revelation is coming to me. Let me start from the last.
People, from a continued abusive childhood, have a hyper-hospitality trait within them. A redeeming quality, you can always trust this. But it is without balance. I never knew how this can be, till today. Provision. What an awesome trait! It is what comes out of love. So many of us "norms" do not process.
God always provides a ram in the bush. Genesis 22:13
