WHERE WAS GOD?
"I know you're mad at Me right now. That's all
right. People have been
mad at Me before and will be again. Being mad is
part of being human. My Son got mad, too. It's
all right to be mad sometimes
at injustice, for example, or the lack of charity."
"You probably think I am unjust and uncharitable
when an airplane goes down like that. All those
people lost. The children gone. It doesn't seem
right it can't be loving.
You ask, 'Where was God?' Why did He allow that to
happen?" "I allow it to happen because I allow
you freedom. I could have left you on a string and
made you dance all day without getting tired. I
could have moved your mouth for you and made you
sing all night without growing hoarse. I could
have pulled a wire that would have let you soar
skyward and never fall."
"I could have, but I didn't because I love you so
much. I want you to be free to decide when to dance
and sing. Free to determine when you will come to Me
in faith and hope. Because you are free, some
of you choose not to dance or sing. Some of you
select hatred over love, revenge over
forgiveness, bombs over a helping hand. As you
choose, I watch. I do not disappear. I listen to
both the songs and the bombs. AND I REMEMBER."
"Where was God?" you wonder...I was there. I
whispered in the ear of a little girl, 'Don't be
afraid, I am with you.' I held the hand of a
business woman as tightly as she clutched mine. I
cradled a pilot against my shoulder as if he were
a baby again."
"Amid the paralyzing fear, I was there, as I was
there with my Son in the garden. Amid the unbearable
pain, I was there, as I was with Him as
He was whipped. Amid the terrible realization that
life was ending too soon, I was there, with Him as
He hung on the cross and asked, like you,
"My God, why have you forsaken Me?"
"I had not forsaken Him. I did not forsake them. I
was there as they fell, and as they rose to eternal
joy. I listened to their anger, answered their
questions and showed them why they were created. Not
to end that way, but to live with Me forever."
"In an instant, they came into existence. As you
did. In an instant, they left earth. As you will
But beyond that last instant, I kept
my promise... A little girl dances, a business woman
sings, and a pilot keeps his wings forever."

God bless you as you go about your daily activities.
Everyday could be our last. None of knows the
number of days we are granted on this
earth but thank God we have the hope of an eternity
with Him.
