Hmm... another thought just hit home. Recently, some good friends i have told me they had a Christian friend who committed suicide. Yucky topic. All i know is God is a just and fair God. Whether this person knew it or not, Jesus still died for his/her humanity. And although it hurts God to see this person sin. He will still judge accordingly and I will not answer on God's behalf because I am not God. Whether or not this person is in a better place is not for us to decide. perhaps we'd like to think so to appease ourselves. But we must also not forget the God who hates sin.
I am in no place to judge but perhaps this is a time to focus on our own relationships with God and to make us think, are we any better off?
I really dont know what to say about this. It hurts. Its poison to hear about it. Yet we must not forget, to seek HIm who gives us hope. Funny how Paul wrote in Phil 4:6-7 to not be anxious about anything but in all circumstances, by prayer and petition with thanksgiving present your requests to GOd.
Thanksgiving. hard thing in all circumstances. I still ask how?
