though we don’t always understand

Our God is always in control.

The Bible describes God as:

all knowing…There is nothing that surprises Him                                          

all powerful…And yet just as gentle

creator…He commands the winds and they obey
all loving…He embodies love, there is no evil in Him.

Today’s events in Japan are cause for sadness, cause for reflection, cause to love like He loves.  This should move our hearts and bring us to our knees.  And in this we should worship.  If we are breathing today, it is not because of anything we have done.  And if we are gone today it is not because we are are being punished by an angry, vengeful God.

This article better articulates everything I am thinking & feeling.
