Where Was God In Newtown?


In times like this, it's easy to ask Where was God? Why did He let this happen? The answer seems to always be there Looming over... Seemingly unanswerable However, Mike Huckabee made a valid point We have been ushering God out of our daily lives. We have tried to take His name out of- Christmas In God we trust We have tried to take anything Christian Out of schools everywhere Out of life in general... Why then, do we get so angry and shout "WHERE WAS GOD?!" We have escorted Him out, remember? We have ordered Him to leave. Us, His mindless, dirty, stupid creation. WE order a good, righteous and just God out of the equation And get angry when tragedies happen? And I believe God was there. God was in the teachers who took the bullets for their students That gave their lives to the kids God was in the policemen who rushed in, risking their lives To save those children's lives All those children are in heaven. All of them. We have a merciful God. To all the parents: Life is hard It is sometimes not understood But trust in God And every single one of you will see your children again He is calling you to Him Don't get me wrong It's going to be hard Life is hard Life is terrible Life doesn't make sense BUT God is good You are all in my prayers
