"Those who earnestly endeavor to seek God first; Love Him and others and follow His Priorities and rules are blessed."
After the Tsunami I saw a report. One man lost his whole family and was angry and said something to the effect that "there is no God". Another man had also lost his whole family (both men Muslims). He was saying that his family was in a better place and he was praying that God would help him through it, etc.
So yes - to all it's a tragedy. And some will turn their hearts to something beyond the house and car and boat and job that are now gone.
Prayers with those who have lost everything - especially those that have lost loved ones.
Well put.
Our attitude is important as is our perspective.
For some, given their world views, it's merely a temporarily effective rationalization. But better than nothing--to them at the moment.
For others their perspective is a certainty born out of a tried and tested RELATIONSHIP with Almighty God who is longsuffering and kind to all and particularly to all who Love Him.
He did NOT make hell for man but for satan and his angels. However, God will not prevent man from choosing where to spend eternity. Otherwise, there could be NO SUCH THING as LOVE.
