It is both a mystery and a revelation that God has invited human participation in every stage of his universal drama from Eden until today. In perfect accord with that mystery, Jesus' human hands were nailed to the cross to remind me that pain is a shared experience between my heart and God's.
Tragedy is the fertile soil of miracles.
- Athol Dickson
In light of the terrible events that have unfolded across the seas I struggle to understand how God allows such tragedy. Yet I am convinced He grieves deeper than any of us dare to. Pain is a shared experience between my heart and God's...between those who survived and God's.
There are all kinds of theological debates about why God was seemingly silent,but I KNOW my God grieves.
I grieve.
