There is so much wrong with this world. I support the Tim Tebow Foundation, and I am often overwhelmed with sorrow when I read some of the stories told by the children that it rescues from slavery and exploitation around this world. But I don’t have to go to other parts of the world, I can find that same evil in my own backyard.
There are so many unanswered questions. Whenever we hear about tragedies, about how cruel people can be, about how evil often seems to flourish unhindered, we are confronted with the question … “Why does God allow this to happen?”
I truly wish I could answer that in a way that satisfies everyone, but that is not possible. What I can say is that no matter what I see in this life, I believe.
Evil things will happen, still I believe.
This world may be horribly broken, still I believe.
Illness, suffering and death may come, still I believe.
I believe God is Good.
I believe God loves us.
I believe Jesus died to take away our sins and opened the way to God our Father.
I believe Jesus is coming again and that one day all will be made right.
I believe.
“I know the One I have believed in and am persuaded that He is able to guard what has been entrusted to me until that day.” [2 Timothy 1:12 HCSB]
