Life. You'd think the English language would have created a much more complex word for a much more complex thing. Four measly little letters. But its funny how life can be taken away as quickly as one can say the word "life".
I'm sure that today thousands of people have died somewhere, someplace for some reason or another.
But today someone I knew died just down the road from my high school.
A young man near ready to start adulthood at the mere age of 18.
He was hit by a car a teacher from the school was driving.
It fills my eyes with tears to have found out about this incident.
But I know God is perfect. I know God is good. I know God has control of ALL things. Even though many of us would look at a death in way that makes us ask.. "God let this happen?". Yes. God let this happen because God has a plan. A plan greater than our understanding could possibly allow.
Only a few months ago did I walk the hallways with this kid and exchange greetings.
Only a few days ago did I spot him at a store making some purchases.
Its was only a few minutes ago that I heard he was gone. Gone from this world.
I hope with all my heart that he was saved because I hope to see him again sometime. Now, I continue to pray for his family and friends. I pray they are supported. I pray they are comforted. I pray for the teacher who accidentally hit him. I pray he is also comforted because I know he is emotionally unstable now. I pray all these things in God holy name.
Jeremiah 29:11
11 For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the LORD, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.
Hope and a future? YES but our hope and a future may not always remain here on earth. I know for sure God had our hope and a future in Heaven for those who accept Him. Some just get to receive it a little sooner than others. God is good all the time.
