I have had many people say to me " If God is a god of love, then why did he allow my friend/loved one to die?"
This seems to be a universal questions and THE question of all questions.
God IS a God of love and never did He intend for your loved one to die, but death has to come and it stems all the way back to Adam and Eve.
Death is a curse and it effects everyone. It is hard to believe that God would allow even the innocent to suffer, but please know that no one is exempt from this curse.
God has big enough shoulders to carry the blame of this tragedy but should He rightfully get the blame?
No.
God intended for man to live on Earth as it was in the garden of Eden. Never did He intend that such destruction come to His creation, even the Earth has been effected because of the first sin.
The blame lies with Satan and his destructive deceptions. Still to this day He walks this Earth strutting around because even Christians fail to see that death is his own doing. We often neglect and fail to remember that Satan no longer holds the keys to death, but he is still the cause.
Everywhere you look in scripture you will find healing in God's words. May I repeat this again, never did God create us to destroy us. The battle isn't between God, and man, it's between God and satan.
We all know how Satan took one third of the angels with him when he was cast out of heaven? There was a huge war in heaven, and it was because Satan wanted to be God. He harbored envy, pride and greed in his heart and he challenged the very authority of God, and still does today by causing death and suffering to those God holds dear!
Satan's sole purpose on this earth is to see to it that the sons and daughters of God turn their hearts against Him. I would have to say in his dilligence, he succeeds for a time.
God understands your pain and wants to offer you His healing salve of His word and comfort over your wounds. You were never meant to deal with the pain alone, and He doesn't want you to.
Call on Jesus and give to Him your burdens, and He will give you rest!
In death there is no more suffering, there is no more pain, no more shame.
In death our loved ones are safe in the arms of Jesus!
In everything God has the final say, even in death and this leaves satan in utter disgust. The best revenge for Satan is God's revenge, and the best way to help that along is to begin to live in freedom!
Lean on scripture in your time of need, and lend yourself to prayer, and lots of it.
Believe and live as a child of God, and you will begin to break the bondages Satan has set out for you. There is nobility in death because we are called to be heirs of God's kingdom.
Whatever the situation, in time please lean into the healing that forgiveness brings. Situations happen suddenly and we don't often get a chance to say what needs to be said, but God knows and He's there with you by your side every step of your journey if you let Him.
The Earth is God's footstool and He watches over you and shelters you under the shadow of His mighty wing! Imagine that... Can satan do that? No all he comforts us with is shame, guilt, and mournful torment.
Fix your eyes on Jesus and turn to like minded individuals for comfort.
Our Father who art in Heaven, Hallowed be thy name...
May you find lasting comfort in His peace through the Holy Spirit, and through the word of our Lord. In Jesus Name, Amen.
