So, to share some thoughts.... with the tragedies of this day and yesterday, so many of us are filled with anger, frustration and a lingering desire for an answer of why this happens. Why bad things happen to good people. Why or how someone that was not violent, tried to share common sense, faithful ideals and honestly, love with the world; How can these things happen to them? Well, hang onto all that anger, frustration, bewilderment and all for a moment. Now, let's think back to somewhere around 2000 years ago. There was a man named Jesus, He preached the good news, healed the sick, made the lame walk again, and loved people... no matter what race, religion or walk of life. HE had nothing but good intentions for all. And... what happened to Him. He was mocked, beaten, humiliated and crucified. That is what this world did to Him. Still feel that anger, frustration, bewilderment?? Maybe we should.... We talk about His story and sometimes it becomes all too numb. I am sure that all these feelings we feel now are the same feelings all who knew Him felt. Now .... all the apostles (except one I believe) that were also brutally killed for their faith. Those who die trying to spread love, faith, and common sense are in GOOD company. I believe Jesus knows EXACTLY what that feels like. Evil happens. Unfortunately the consequences of free will. In order to truly love, we must have the choice to choose. Therefore, we have the choice to follow evil as well as good. You hear people say that God allows bad things to happen and good comes from that.... I don't believe that. Because of free will.... bad things can happen. However, good can be born from bad things. Maybe some people's eyes will be open by how heinous these events are. Many people for centuries have become believers because of the heinous turn of events 2000 years ago and the miraculous events that followed. As so many of us are working through these feelings, I pray we train our eyes and ears on Him, seek His understanding and guidance and find the enlightenment He desires for us.
