Naturally we cry from our hearts-God how could you let something like this happen?
But know that God created humanity with the ability to choose. He gave us human dignity of free will. Other wise what kind of a relationship would we have with him if he controlled everything. He allows us to reject Him and to commit evil acts. People choose to ignore God, to defy God, to go their own way and commit terrible acts against others. There is tragedy on this planet everyday, this place where God’s will is not always followed. Yet we are at his mercy, fortunately. He created this place and although problems are so great, only he is unlimited in power and wisdom. Somehow He is able to maintain the freedom of sinful humans, yet still bring about his will. God clearly says, “My counsel shall stand, and I will accomplish all MY purpose.
And we can draw comfort from that if we submit ourselves to Him. “For God opposes the proud, but gives grace to the humble”
This is all I will say, the answers to the questions are in my post here and above.
Study that and you will under stand.
For those who find comfort in the lord I thank you for supporting those who were affected with tragedy today and in the past.
This one really hit home as my wife teaches kindergarden, there are only two adults and twenty kids in her school house which is separate from the rest of the school.
Psycho, I am sorry for your loss, My family almost lost me in an auto accident 3 years ago and it was devastating for them to watch me cling to life after being in an auto accident I was not supposed to survive.
Thanks Tony for starting this thread, I know where everyone’s heart is.
Good luck to all and god bless
Peace out.
