Psalm 34:18 “The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit.”
After the tragic events that occurred in Boston today (4/15/13), I am reminded of the love that surrounds us. It is evident in the way we seek each other; to know our loved ones are safe and to comfort each other. It is certainly evident in the men and women who show their courage to rescue the injured, risking their own safety.
Those who curse God for this happening, do not understand the Power He has given us all -our free will. God does not condone these acts. He tells us how to act, yet there are some who don’t listen. We are free and there is a cost for our freedom.
It seems all too familiar, the deliberate destruction and harm inflicted by our fellow human beings, but who are they really? What do they have in common? They are all lost souls belonging to humanity, lacking a moral code or compass.
How do we promote this moral code? Rather than curse God, or become angry and bitter, we need to teach this moral code deliberately, especially to our children and even to the lost and forgotten.
God is waiting for us all to choose Him with our own free will.
“When evil men plot, good men must plan. When evil men burn and bomb, good men must build and bind. When evil men shout ugly words of hatred, good men must commit themselves to the glories of love.”
Commit yourself to the glories of love.
