Why did we happen to survive?
Why were our lives spared?
The devastation is so great; lives of many have been lost
Yet, we remain…
I’m afraid, hungry, cold, and utterly exhausted.
Why did we happen to survive?
Yesterday, we passed a poor man who’d been struck by lightening
I wanted to help, but Papa insisted we must go.
Today, I saw a lost little boy, perhaps abandoned
Lost and without a Papa, and once again
I wanted to help.
I wanted to take him with us, but Papa insisted we must go.
Why did we happen to survive?
Why are we to go through this miserable suffering?
Food is scarce, shelter is limited, and the weather is nearly unbearable.
However, is it not through the struggles that we grow?
Through the tragedies and hardships that we learn to trust God
To provide? To never leave us or forsake us?
To trust that has a greater purpose for happenings
than we can understand?
I wanted to help the little boy, but Papa insisted we must go to survive.
Why did we happen to survive?
We remain so we can learn to trust God through all the storms of life AND
So that we can be a blessing and encouragement to others.
We remain so we can fulfill God’s purposes for our lives.
