There are times when it just seems like so much bad is happening and happening to good people. It saddens me and breaks my heart. Today I read about how the little baby found in the field after the tornado died. Her grandmother had to decided to take her off life support....how horrific is that????? This little girls family died in the tornados. Her grandmother said her only comfort was that they were all together now. I cried as I read her story of her recapping her grandchilds final moments and last breath.
Several weeks ago there was a family in our area whose house burnt down. They had 8 children and three died in the fire. The rest of the family has been in the hospital. All of them our out except the mom, she is still in ICU. I drive past there home at least twice a week and my heart hurts for them. I see the three crosses in their front yard and it just seems unthinkable to have your child or children taken away.
It makes me frustrated at times, I don't understand, but I know I am not suppose to understand.
I believe and never doubt even in times of not understanding...everything is done so that God is given glory. We may not see how but we are to turn to Jesus in the moments of sadness and grief and just let Him do what he so willing wants to do. Heal your heart, help you understand that He will carry those who are hurting the most.
But the one thing that I find the most comfort in is knowing, this home we have on earth is not our home. This world of evil, pain,sadness, and hurt will end and God will fulfill his promise. The clouds will part, the trumpets will sound and our Lord And Savior will return. Every knee will bow and every tongue will confess....you are Lord. I can tell you I can't wait for that day. Jesus came to the earth to overcome death...so that we don't have to live forever in a world of evil. We have to trench through it now but our reward is coming.
In My Father's house are many dwelling places; if it were not so, I would have told you; for I go to prepare a place for you. (John 14:2 NASB)
A song by Jeremy Camp called Overcome has been on my play list lots lately. I thought I would share.
