Oh, dear Lord, protect us from the evils of this world and comfort us in our sorrows.
This past week, I was again reminded of the evil that lurks in the hearts of men -- and women.
An entire family, dad, mom, two kids was killed in a terrible car accident. And then two people ROBBED their home!
Unbelievable.
This is a prime example, not that God doesn't care (yes, He does, yes, He does!!) but how we humans can abuse the free will He blessed us with.
From the moment I heard about this, I thought "tweakers". It appears that I was right, both have many arrests, both are a mess.
Listen to me! Meth is evil, straight from the hands of the evil one into willing human hands. (You know that Hitler used a form of meth, right?) Free will allows this to happen. We can CHOOSE to do right in the world, or like this pair, we can choose to do wrong. Terrible wrongs. Evil lurks in the hearts of men and women because they allow it -- because they have a choice.
Yet despite it all, this terrible act may be the beginnings of redemption. We never know where the U-turn begins, we only see where it ends. God knows. God sees it all because He is outside of time, He is the Alpha and the Omega and sees it all from beginning to end.
I don't know where this will end, but right now my heart cries out for justice for this family and their relatives.
May the Lord bless them in their sorrow and comfort them in knowing that they will meet their loved ones again in a better place, free of the pain and suffering of the world.
