one day

where to begin.
just read about a horrific death of a child
17mths old beaten and abused
his whole life spent suffering at the hands of those who were suppose to love him.

how can this happen?
why did no one save this child?
how could my LORD let this happen?

why this child and not mine?
why not me? why save me and not this child?
i can't stop the tears.
i don't read these things because i know there is such evil in the world.

where were my LORD's angels when this child was hurting?
only 17 mths old, a few months younger than caleb.
how can we explain the great master plan when the minute details include this??
how can i praise a God who lets a little baby boy live such a torturous life??

if you're reading this and you are not a christian than you have just experienced a day in the life of a christian in this world. who sees what you see, feels what you feel, and doesn't understand how this can happen. But I still believe.

I said all this to my LORD and King in my kitchen. He knows how upset i am. Unlike me, he saw every day of that child's life, felt every minute of his pain. And did not act. But when that child died, I know he took him in his arms and surrounded him with such love that all that pain disappeared. Now he has an eternity of love, of sitting at our Father's feet, growing in his house, never again to feel anything remotely like his short life here.

And one day. One day. Satan will pay for what he did to that child.

I still can't stop my tears. But I know the LORD is the answer. Only he can stop this world from becoming completely evil. Maybe not today, or the day that little baby took his last breath. But one day. One day.
