There is never an excuse good enough to justify hitting a child with your fist, most especially a girl.
I bowed up to my dad as a teenager. He didn't punch me, but he did throw me onto the floor, sit on my back and wrap my arm up around my head. I'd had enough and never crossed that line again.
If my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then will I hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and will heal their land. 2 Chronicles 7:14
