Why?

As I got up this morning I was still in disbelief and shock at what took place yesterday in Sandy Hook, Connecticut. The tragedy which occurred at a place so many of us believe to be a sanctuary of innocence, a grade school. I'm still trying to wrap my mind around why such a horrific event took place and why it involved the most innocent of the innocents, grade school aged children. As a father I can't even imagine what families and loved ones of those who lost their lives yesterday are going through today. The only thing I can think of to do is be comforted in the loving arms of my comforter, Jesus Christ. No amount of anger, tears or pain is going to change things. All I can think of to do is to run to Him. Jesus Himself promises us in Matthew 5:4, "Blessed are those who mourn, for they shall be comforted." In these simple words we see His promise to us. I hope that everyone affected by this act will turn to the Lord and receive the comfort He offers in times like this. My prayers and thoughts definitely go out to the families of Sandy Hook. I pray that the Lord's comfort finds each one of you and that you allow Him to wrap His loving arms around you...Also please take a moment to watch these amazing words shared by Mike Huckabee.. http://video.foxnews.com/v/2038135300001/huckabee-where-was-god/
