Loving the unlovely.

HOW??? How is a person supposed to love someone society views as a monster? Someone who has NO regard for another's life - no regard for other's feelings? Someone willing to go to any length to satisfy a pleasure or obsession? Am I to have sympathy out of a perspective of pity regarding mental illness? Somehow that feels like a cop out. Am I to take on the attitude that "God loves you so should I?" Again - cop out! I want to scream - how could He love you? How could He see this coming and NOT stop it! And yeah, I know all the "appropriate" answers, but I REFUSE to put those in writing at this point. It's something that will have to work through me first. I could give every trite, expected "good Christian" cliche but I won't - not here - not now. How do we love justice AND have mercy? I'm not capable and I KNOW that's part of the answer. But right now - justice is at the top of my list for this creep! THE END
