Thief’s brother: “What if it was your little brother or your sister? How would you feel?”
I can answer this. I’d feel terrible. I’d feel sorry for my brother or sister, AND I would feel they had brought it on themselves. I would hold no ill will toward the homeowner as my brother or sister was the cause of the tragic chain of events, not the homeowner.
I did things when I was a teenager that I’m not proud of. Do I blame the people who caught and stopped me? No. My actions were entirely my own fault. I’m sorry for my sins and pray I never repeat any of them.
Amen.
