Have you ever known anyone that had been so hurt by someone so badly that to get back at them, they devised an evil plan to get back at them, and then executed it?
Years ago I read about a lady whose husband had taken up with his young secretary. After dumping his wife of 37 years, he left her to move in with the woman. It was the end of the marriage and the secretary demanded they live in the multi-million dollar home that he and his wife had shared. Long story short, his lawyers made it a reality and the wife had three days in which to move out. On the third day, she ate her last her meal in what had once been her home. She had a pound of shrimp, a jar of caviar, and a bottle of white wine.
After she had finished eating, she then went about stuffing her half eaten shrimp, shells dipped in caviar into all the curtain rods in the house, cleaned up the kitchen and left.
The man and his girlfriend enjoyed their home together for a few days and then all of a sudden something began to smell well....not so good. They couldn't figure out where it was coming from. They cleaned everything, from mopping to bringing in exterminators to check for dead rodents. Nothing worked. Eventually, everything stopped because there was nothing left to do when the source could not be found. The house went on the market and the price cut in half when no one would buy it.
What was worse, was that they had to take out a large loan to buy another one to live in.
And then one day, his ex-wife calls him to find out how things were going. He explained to her about the awful smell they could not get rid of. She listened and then made him an offer he couldn't resist. She said that she missed the old place and would be willing to reduce the settlement in exchange for getting the home back.
Knowing of course, that she really had no idea how bad the house smelled, he agreed to sell her the house for 1/10th the original worth but only if she would sign the papers that very day. She agreed (Seems like that should have been a red flag if not a major red flag to him) and his lawyers were over to her place within the hour and the deal was done. (Wow, even the lawyers weren't too smart)
A week later, the happy couple stood watching and smiling as the moving company packed everything to take to their new home.
Including all the curtain rods.
True or Fiction? Well, you can't always believe what you read on the internet. And I can't really say. However, it is possible and actually if the wife had wanted to, she could have instead murdered one or both of them. Lets face it. Diabolical plans have been created and executed from the beginning of time. And so you be the judge on it. However, if you would like to read the full story, go to:
The fact of the matter is, whether this story was/is true or not is not really the question. The fact is that evil does exist. And it cause others even innocent victims so much grief that they can themselves come up with evil to plot against others. The first century Christian Church had its own problem in this area. Corinth was an evil city and some of the newly converted Christians were having trouble with shaking old ways to become what Christ wanted them to be.
It was in his teaching of 1 Corinthians 13:4, as we have been looking at these last few days that again is where Paul speaks of how "love does not delight in evil, but rejoices in truth." Love does not love wrong doing.
No matter what kind it is. Big little. Whether it be with the kind of the above story or something way more diabolic.
Psalm 5:4 You are not a God who delights in wickedness.
1 John 4:10 In this is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins. (Meaning that God loved us and sent his Son to offer a substitute for our sin.)
Evil is evil.
God is love. It is that simple.
