I have heard people say that God is bringing his judgement upon Haiti. I will NOT believe that is true! God did not strike this country down. I believe that what happened this week was a natural disaster. I believe that God aches with us over the things that occur as the result of sin in our world, but I do NOT believe that the God I love and serve sent this terrible thing to punish his people. I do believe that God will use this horrible time for His glory. I do believe that as the Haitians go to sleep again tonight, under the open sky, their hymns and songs to Him are heard. I do believe that the God I know and love cries with us because of the awful pain that we have. I also believe that although many will soon forget, our God will not. He remembers His people here always. He will calm their fears. Only He can heal their broken hearts. My God did not cause this disaster! I will not blame Him like the world wants. We live in an imperfect world where bad things happen. Bad things will always happen because we have fallen, but bad things do not happen as a result of the sins of select people, bad things happen as a result of the sin of ALL people. My Haiti may be filled with darkness but there are lights everywhere....My God did not send this earthquake but my God will rise from it. Our God will be praised. Heaven is crying with our pain tonight but they are also singing praise. This week heaven gained the souls of many faithful servants and the living vessels of the bodies of so many left behind... Blessed be the name of The Lord.
