WHY?
That is the question that eludes even the greatest of minds. "Its God's will" someone will say! And for the most part I agree that it is always in God's realm of sovereignty that I find myself allowing my mind to be comforted when those types of difficulties arise.
I hurt for those who get caught up in our world by the masquerading evil that fills our minds with what ifs and why not's. Evil finds away around the most civil minds and even those minds that are more than not logical in life. Evil searches our thoughts and changes our thinking by offering us outs as we contemplate the direction of our lives. We do things we really know we shouldn't and we give in to things we normally would laugh at and or be scornful towards those who fall into its trap. But, at the right moment none of us are immune to the movement evil directs us toward, even without our full knowledge.
Why does death creep at our door?
Why did those decisions have to be made about that child?
Why?
Why?
I don't know why!
I do know who!
God.
I'll put my faith in Him and rely up Him to help me make it through the difficulties I find myself falling into or those difficulties that I find myself so deeply mired. I know, not because I am any more or less special than anyone else, that God is there for me. All the time! He knows when I am hurting, happy, angry, sad, or even jealous. He tells me that He knows my heart and the way I am, even without me expressing it. He offers ways of escape and when we do not choose to follow those ways He offers forgiveness.
Why?
Because He loves me, the Bible tells me so!
