I have a quick question.  As a christian, I get this question a lot.  If God is in control of all things, if He truly exists, why do unspeakable atrocities happen to children?  Why do parents lose their children? One of my own questions at one time was "Why can't children be off limits to evil?"  why do horrible things happen to good people?  Why doesn't God do something about it? Why doesn't God stop it? Why does God allow it?

God gave all people free will.  To make a choice.  Good or evil?  Follow the ways of this evil world or stand out in the crowd? To stand out for what is good. Why is it that Christians keep quiet? While society is so vocal about what they want? Why do bad things happen to good people? Because someone somewhere made the choice to follow what ever evil desire they had within themselves and act on it.  Where was God? He was there.  With you during the worst.  Standing between you and evil. Weeping because you wept. Weeping because a creation of His chose to follow a different path than what was meant for them.  No worries about that though.... they WILL answer for it before the Judge of all judges.... the only one qualified to judge.

Here's the thing.  God can use ALL things for good for those who LOVE Him.  No matter how much the enemy tries to break our spirit.... no matter how much we hurt, God has victory.  God WILL use it for good.  This is where faith and trust comes in.  When bad things happen, that's where we find out what our faith is truly made of.  Or maybe I should say how much faith we truly have!  God IS in control of all things.  God does not allow anything to happen that he can't use.  When we are in the midst of tragedy we can't see it... but we can make a choice.  To believe, to trust, to have faith in something, some ONE bigger than our selves.

So the question remains... why?  Why does God allow such things to happen?  My question is this...

Why do we??

Has something touched your heart?  Homelessness?  Drugs? Alcohol? Rape? The problem in this city, this country, this world with human trafficking???   Are you an outspoken individual???  

Well then open your mouth and speak for something worth while!  Don't just sit there asking questions... get off your butt, open your mouth and stand up for what is right!
