Sometimes you just have to pray through the questions – that’s what I keep realizing.
It’s 12 : 05 PM on day 1732 of my journey towards independence and I’ve managed to brush my teeth, pray, read Jonah 4, publish my Disability of the Day feature, learn one new thing –In the 16th and 17th centuries, Europeans believed that somewhere in the New World was a city of gold, waiting to be discovered. Despite several expeditions to South America, including two by Sir Walter Raleigh, the legendary city of El Dorado was never found.–feed myself peanut butter and banana sandwich for breakfast and promote my Educate Generations campaign– $3 045 raised so far so grateful.
Today I was wondering why God would let someone like Jenna Lowe, who was doing so much good in the world, suffer and die while murders and rapists roam the earth free to do evil I guess some questions I’ll never get answers to so I’ll just pray through the questions.
You may get answers if you seek them with patience, love, humility and persistence. Yet you may not love them. The Book of Job speaks to these questions.
There can also be the problem that we may now (or always) lack the intellectual capacity to fully appreciate creation, history, life and human nature.
As Christians, we believe that the consequence of sin is death and death is achieved through disease, violence, etc. None are innocent. We are subject to both natural and supernatural challenges including the works of demons and fallen angels. But the second life, we are promised, shall be a reward for those who are in Christ Jesus.
Was Jenna a fruitful and holy Christian – a light unto the world?
Did her life and/or death give glory to God?
Did she earnestly seek the Lord for healing and deliverance?
By these questions like these, we seek not to condemn her but we will grope for understanding.
I believe she was every one of those good things (may her beautiful soul rest in peace).
