His love

Death is not His fault. Death is not His will. It is not God's intention. It is not what He wants. Bad things happen. When they do, God is watching for us to trust in Him, to see if we will still live for him, to see if we will still stand firm, still draw near to Him. Still long for Him. Still want to fight for Him and His glory. It is God who will hold you close when death occurs. It is God who will hold you close when you question disease, when you question disaster, when you question tragedy, when you question misfortune, when you question reason, when you question death, and even when you question your own belief. One cannot comprehend why things happen. We will never know the real reason why death happens, even when it doesn't seem right. When it feels so inhuman. One cannot pretend to know. But one thing I know, that God does not like death. He is all about life. He does not enjoy our pain. When we weep, He weeps. When we run to Him, He will hold us. When we're afraid, He will protect us. When we are confused, He will guide us. When we struggle, He comforts us. When we feel weak, He gives us strength. When we feel limited, He is unlimited. When we doubt, He will assure us. When we don't know why, He does. When we feel lost and alone, He loves us! His love overcomes evil. His love rules over all. His love will prevail. His love will conquer death. There is no need to worry. There is no need to doubt. There is no need to weep. There is no need to be afraid. There is no need to wonder why. There is no need to question. For God is love. And His love is everlasting. His love is universal. His love is international. His love is unconditional. And on that, I will stand. On His love, I will live, move, breathe, and believe.
