We Love God!

God: "I looked for someone to take a stand for me, and stand in the gap" (Ezekiel 22:30)

We do not give the subject of evil and suffering the thought it deserves until we ourselves are confronted with tragedy. If by that point our belief - not well thought out but deeply ingrained - are largely out of step with the God who has disclosed Himself in the Bible and supremely in Jesus, then the pain from the personal tragedy may be multiplied many times over as we begin to question the very foundations of our faith.
