Many people have asked, “where was God during the Connecticut shootings?” Luke 2 tells us, when Mary was ready to give birth to Jesus, there was no room in the Inn. Even today people do not have room for Jesus in their hearts and lives, there’s no room for Him in our schools, often in our communities and work places, nor in our country!
When a society becomes so anti God, this is what tends to be the result. We have seen the depravity of man at its finest through this pointless massacre. This, leaves us all feeling uneasy and asking, why?
You cannot deny Christ in a society and then blame the very God you deny, when bad happens! Bad, is a result of sin; we are all born with a sin nature. When you couple that sin nature with a society that wants to live and do how it pleases, wanting nothing to do with what God set in place, you get this!
The Bible says, “all have made bad choices, and because of those bad choices, the result is death”. Jesus came with a free gift for you and I, and in receiving Him (the simplicity of the gospel… just receive Him) we receive eternal life!
Jesus, coming to the earth was His way of making a path for sinful men to come boldly to His Throne, there, we can receive grace and mercy in our time of need.
Gods grace and Mercy is available to all. That will be the only thing that will sustain our nation, while hope might seem lost.
I was so touched to see one father, who lost his 6year old daughter, stand firm on his faith in God. Where was God? He has there, sustaining His son, through the death of his daughter. One day, this father and daughter will be together again in heaven.
Thank you Jesus for making a way for us! Thank you, for the cross and thank you, for loving people so much that you refuse to leave us stagnate. Lord, bring Good out if this evil. May we as a society, see just how truly great our need is for You.
Merry Christmas all

Sarah, I cried reading what you wrote. The words are really deep. So many times, people (including me) let anything in the first place less GOD. And He is everything people need in this insane world. GOD bless you!
