TheSentinel And the ugliness. God was no where in attendance when my nephew's two preschool children were murdered.
That makes it very hard to reconcile.
I am sad and so sorry, for everyone's loss. We see what this world looks like with evil [satan] in it. Evil is found in people's hearts and minds, not in our pure, sinless, Jesus. He is incapable of sinning. He loves us so much, that not even one hair falls from our scalp, that God is not aware of. God is not the Creator of evil. Neither is it in His nature, nor in His desire, to bring harm or evil on any. See John 3:16 & 17. I have lost children. I know Jesus told us that He has prepared and provided a place of beauty and safety...a heavenly home, for all our children, whom evil or sickness have claimed. We don't have to worry where they are. We have the comfort of knowing they are in safekeeping with God, until we reunite with them in heaven. They are happy, secure, peaceful, laughing, and loved like never before, up in Jesus' lap with His arms wrapped fully around them. It won't be long before we see them.
Jeremiah 29:11 - "For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you, and not to harm you...plans to give you
hope and a
future."
