Tragedy

   Sometimes things happen in which we do not know how and why and are powerless to stop the event itself. The most common of these examples is death.
   In a previous post, it was discussed how death is our servant to the eternal life with Christ Jesus Himself! We realized that, even though sometimes bitter- sweet, it is the stepping stone to eternal life! However, at the same time, none of us want those that we love to leave this Earth, especially by surprise or tragedy. Some would say that every death is a tragedy in fact.
   Most of the time, the part that hurts the most is the fact that it seems explainable. Its that we have absolutely no reason why they died when they did. We feel as if their time had not yet come.
   However, the good part is that our Trust in the Lord releases us from needing a reason. Our Peace and closure comes from Him, therefore we realize that even though we dont know exactly why what happened happened, we know that the Lord does and it is ALL in His perfect plan!
