I prayed the Lord would give strength to get us through this and a moonflower has sprouted in my yard, I did not plant it. Look up Moonflower, they are highly toxic but beautiful, the scent is like nothing else and they only open at night.
"When we take responsibility for what is morally right we experience life’s sweet success which is inner peace. Society demands we behave in a certain way yet human beings are always breaking the rules because the laws of God are at one with human nature. So a conflict arises that becomes a spiritual test that we must overcome in order to reach the next step of our lives. For success in this leap of faith, we must reach into the shadow and free the tormented feelings from their emotional trap. Through inner work on the spiritual path, with a profoundly sincere intention, we can succeed. Interpreting our dreams is a treasured revelation of symbolism, guidance, meaning and healing. There are riches here if we have the courage to explore this dangerous territory. When we light up the darkness we can see the hidden saboteur, ferret it out and instead of initiating self-destructive behavior, we are empowered to choose to love ourselves.
Each and every one of us is capable of any vile thought or act. When we realize this truth we are able to forgive ourselves, forgive each other and by choosing love create positive change. By choosing to love ourselves enough to see the painful flaws in our character, even depression —t he ultimate shadowland — can be healed. This is the meaning of unconditional love: to view without judgment all our feelings so we can overcome through love the darker aspects of ourselves.
We must all evolve, for life is a force that sweeps us along in its mighty currents and washes us onto new shores of delightful growth in relationships, if we let it. Sometimes a flow of tears can unleash a powerful insight that causes a great light to shine for us and show us the way. To create positive change we must have the courage to shine light into the darkness and witness the sometimes twisted aspects of ourselves that need healing and love to straighten up and provide strength instead of shame and self-hatred. This buried part of us, rich in depth, waits imploring to be seen, loved and integrated to live. Like the moonflower that unfurls its pale pearly radiance in the dark of night with only the stars to witness its magnificent unveiling, so we too can open up and find beauty in the painful dark heart of our shadow selves."

Moonflower - I looked it up. It sounds related to bindweed. In the UK that stuff grows very fast along railway tracks and on gardening allotments. It's very tough, almost indestructible. I would be pulling it up!
I am today my point was we have to let God deal with this evil. It can and could consume us, not a day goes by for me that everything I learn about these people brings more anger at their actions. I’m learning to leave it to Him.

Dark to light...

It is beautiful though!
Great comment on dark to light!
