The Grace Story: {Day 14} In the midst of the pain

Just a brief glimpse of the news is enough to leave one with a sick feeling today.

How could someone do something like this?

Why do such horrible things happen?

The last thing I want to do is rattle off a list of pat answers.  Even though I know some of the reasons why bad things happen, there is a lot I don't understand.

But I do know that God doesn't sit up in Heaven, doling out dry, flat answers to human needs.  I know that He came down, lived among us, felt our pain, and still feels our pain.  I know He loves each person He has created and His heart breaks for each life lost.

In the midst of the pain - Emmanuel - He is with us.
