Today marks the birthday of sweet Hannah. She would be eight today, that beautiful Monkey Queen.Situations like these cause people to think, and to question authorities they may not even question very often. Even Christians, who really do have so much faith in God, can't help but wonder why God takes away such innocent people, especially children.
I think about it, too. It's a big thing. After awhile, I've gained my own perspective on death.
We're all sinners. And God is perfect. Furthermore, God made us. And we belong to him. Therefore, isn't it only fair that he takes people back sometimes?
It's not even close to what sin deserves. The pain, the shock and the missing is really only a taste of what it could be. You might say, isn't it like He's teasing us in a way, by letting us have our loved ones for a time, and then randomly taking them away? Well, we have to remember all the time that we ever get with our loved ones are gifts. We can't take anything or anyone for granted. I am always reminding myself of this. God has the right to take anyone away at anytime. Like I said, it's only fair...not even fair, on His behalf. We can't expect God to let us have everyone share our lives on earth, and when we do, it's a huge and merciful gift.
So that's my philosophy. There's been so much controversy over this subject, and even though I feel like I've pretty much figured it out, I also know that no matter what, He's got it all under control and that's all I need to know.
