W.W.J.D.?
Suppose, you had 2 grandsons, and one of them went mad and
murdered his brother. What would you do? Perhaps, rebuke the wicked grandson.
Well, punish him, of course. But, certainly, not to kill him. I hope.
Now, what can you do with the parents' grief? How to comfort your children?
They had two boys, and now it seems that they lost them both. What would YOU answer
on your kids' cry:
- Father, how could you allow Abel to be killed? How could you allow Cain to go mad?
"The righteous perish, and no-one ponders it in his heart; devout men are taken away, and no-one understands that the righteous are taken away to be spared from evil."
(Isa.57:1)
First and foremost. Concerning the victims of September 11th, I strongly believe, that all of them suffered innocently. God DID NOT punish America. If you somehow feel He did, please, change your attitude.
Our life is not black-and-white, as many people tend to
think. Yet, from time to time it requires some either-or decisions. If we feel
that we lost our direction, it is the proper time to stop and think. Life is moving,
but moving without direction leads nowhere. In order to survive, certain decisions
should be taken.
The problem is, that Cain still hates his brother Abel. Cain died long-long ago, but
his mentality is still in action. Cain or Abel? Whose position is yours?
Would you prefer to raise accusation, as Cain did? Or to stand with the
innocent Abel? Satan accuses. Jesus stands for Abel. This, I know for
sure. Please, make your choice:
