Why

Sometimes I wish I could understand God. Just one time, maybe two, I could get into that mind of His and see the bigger picture and understand why things happen the way they do.

With all the power, all the knowledge in the universe, how in the world do these things happen? Babies dying, poverty, suicide, rape... The list just keeps going on and on and on. It makes me angry. It makes me beyond sad.

But then I think, why? If God could fix it, why doesn't He? Because He lets us choose. We chose way back in time, sin - our own way. He had it all planned out, and sin took over because we let it. He isn't the one to blame... We are. Sin is. Satan is.

I can't wait for heaven. Babies don't die there. Sickness is not allowed there. Rape is non-existent there. sometimes I am not sure how much longer the world can survive all of this.
