Not Guilty-Casey Anthony Case

"Not Guility"

Those two words have played over and over in my head since the verdict was spoken.
Not guilty? Not guilty is like saying this little girl didn't matter; that she was worthless, that her life didn't have purpose. My immediate reaction was blood boiling anger, hatred, judgement and condemnation toward Casey Anthony. Thoughts of hatred came quicker than any bible verse entered my mind.

My heart broke and tears began to fall as i looked at the picture of the little girl and thought of what she could have brought to this world…the unique display of the creator she could have shown the world. My heart automatically cried out to God saying, "God this little girl never got to bring you glory on this earth!" Then i heard the voice of God tell me, "she already has, you're just seeing this situation through fleshly eyes of hurt and pain rather than through righteous eyes."

I believe she was guilty, but when i asked God for revelation,It was then that i was able to step back and see this through the eyes of heaven. Casey is a woman who is living , like you and i, in an evil world. The only difference between her and i is that she chose evil i chose love. She chose the darkness, i chose the light. She chose the name of satan, i chose the name of Jesus.

As i sit here writing here all i hear in my soul is:

"Justice will fall down like rain…he will break every chain, don't you think for a moment he hasn't seen your pain."

God is close to the brokenhearted and i believe he feels the pain of this little girl's death more than i ever could…he sees it and he is looking to us as his children not to point a finger of condemnation and shame, but to stretch out our hand to Casey, bring her in, and allow her to encounter the transforming life and restoration our Jesus offers.

Yes, this little girls death is tragic and horrific, it embodies evil, it shouts disorder and hatred in this world, but how are we going to choose to respond to it. I believe God wants us to respond with love and grace. I encourage you to do your best like i am to pray to heaven for Casey, not for her damnation or for karma, but for her to encounter the love of God and justice to be done through the hands of God.
I ask that you let the life of this little girl encourage you to press on and bring about justice in the world.
Let this situation cause you to humble yourself and seek God's face on behalf of Casey…
Lord let us see her through your eyes…give us the words to pray!
Whether Casey is guilty or not, one thing i know for sure is she needs the love of God like never before!
