Japan needs healing. I cant imagine the pain they are experiencing today after so much loss. In this life we need something super, something supernatural to come and reveal to us, WHY?
We are born, dying of a fatal disease, with a heart condition. It's called sin. But there is a cure!!!
God. He sent His blameless and Holy Son to take our place and the punishment we all deserve. God's Word says "Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and you will be saved". The problem is that we are so blinded with our sin, we do not see we need help. We think we can save ourselves by our own, small ways. God has to change our ways, and that is where suffering comes in the picture. We must become poor, hungry, sad, or even deserate to see we need a Savior(Luke 6:20-23). Because of our sin we need intervention to help us. 1 Peter 2:24 says, 'He himself(Jesus) bore our sins in his body on the tree, that we might die to sin and live in righteousness. By his wounds you are healed.' God came and He works in many ways to soften and change the hearts of His people. Trials in our lives cause us to need, and the Spirit of God enables us turn to Him. Giving us life abundantly and eternally! Because of Jesus death on the cross we are healed. Our heart is cured!!! We will live!!!! And that is why God allows suffering. It's because He loves us and wants us to live with Him forever! God will do anything, even sentence His only Son to his death for us, to get us. Thank you Lord for not giving up on me.
I am praying today that God would use this tragedy in Japan and the many more that have and will occur to soften and turn hearts to Him. I am thanking Him for the times in my own life that I can look back on and know His presence and hand redeeming me, guiding me, keeping me, growing me, loving me, sustaining me, holding me.... I am overwhelmed by His grace.
