If in this life we have our hope, we become miserable and remain lost.<BR/><BR/>I agree with Mrs. Darling, it comes down to our Faith in God and in His Son, Jesus Christ. If we rely on human logic, we will be crushed by these humanly inconprehensible incidents in life. <BR/><BR/>We need, yea we must always, learn to live with eternity in our hearts and minds as we serve here amid the hurt and suffering that affects us all; knowing and believing that God sees the end from the beginning, and works His will and love in our lives. If in this life only we have hope, great is our misery and darkness. <BR/><BR/>Thanks be to God for the Victory over death we have in Christ!<BR/><BR/>May God grant to Jeff and Carolyn His Grace and Peace that defies understanding, but brings so much light and comfort in the midst of life's darkest times.Truthseekerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15401365816156872807noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11022879.post-1131106786973474332005-11-04T04:19:00.000-08:002005-11-04T04:19:00.000-08:00Your three options about our faith in God after a ...Your three options about our faith in God after a tragedy like this is something to think about. We could also say that when tragedies happen, especially of this magnitude, we can be ever so thankful that Jesus did not leave us comfortless, that He came to set the captives free, which is exactly what we would be if we had no hope in Christ. To know that all of those children are safe in the arms of Jesus, and that Jeff and Caroline are experiencing the grace and strength from God that He promised, is comfort beyond description. <BR/><BR/>Yes, God is good. He is all wise and loving. He is our security when our worlds come crashing in on us. It is during tragedies that our faith grows because that is when we most clearly see His face.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11022879.post-1131065141018136372005-11-03T16:45:00.000-08:002005-11-03T16:45:00.000-08:00Can our faith wrap around this tragedy and still b...Can our faith wrap around this tragedy and still believe in God's grace and mercy? <BR/><BR/>Thats the big question. I dont believe our human minds can ever fully wrap around this tragedy but faith is a different matter. Faith, on the very basis that it's FAITH, believes things unbelievable by our finite minds. If we truly have faith than we must believe that God is gracious and merciful.Mrs. Darlinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12911621891840832728noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11022879.post-1131039400952801392005-11-03T09:36:00.000-08:002005-11-03T09:36:00.000-08:00Mark--what a great idea.
