:cry: OMG How can I complain or whine about anything?? Gill that was so terrible. That poor child. Now, thru tears, I am asking, Why did that beautiful child have to go thru that. I hope she is in the first resurrection.
I used to get over these things by thinking How evil Satan was and that people made all wrong choices and that this child is happy in heaven now. But now, God did this as part of His will and the child is just dead.
No wonder people don't want to hear our Good News! Gill, I hope she receives no stripes at all!
gmik:
Thanks Orion for the link. I had read it before but it was good to read it again. I know Ray lost a child so I am sure he probably wrestled with these things.
I know these things on an intellectual level-knowledge, but it still hurts.

Maybe she will yet need to forgive those who abused her, maybe not. I think that some people go through so much that they aren't even 'there' anymore ...they don't even seem to have any bitterness ~ they don't feel anything at all. May God give us peace that passes understanding. At least you know that she has hope; her being made subject to vanity wasn't in vain.
Daniel:
Man, that poor girl, ""Father forgive THEM they know not what they did" is right. Would have been great for her to laugh a llittle whle she was here. I bet she saw very little of that. This is more then sad. At least she is relieved of them.

WOW! Gill; that story rips my heart out. :cry: :cry:
A few years ago I read a book called "A Child Called It". It was a true account of the worst child-abuse case seen in California or maybe even the U.S., at the time. I've since bought the book "The Lost Boy" (which is one of the sequels... “A Man Named Dave� is the third/last, I think). But I have yet to read it. I was a complete basket case reading the first book (which covers up to age 12 and the point when he was finally removed from the home of his abusive mother… ).
WOW!!! :cry:
I must be the only one here who never had a problem with the teaching on "free-will" (or lack thereof)?? I guess because I never believed we had it to begin with so it wasn't something that I needed to 'unlearn'. Not sure why I could see that in the scriptures at a very early age (pre-teen, but never truly got 'confirmation' until I came across BT's.... till then I just figures *I* was the one who was wrong).
But even though I have always believed in God's sovereignty, I still find that I have no 'real' answers (nothing in the way of 'comfort') to explain why SUCH evil exists to the extrent or extreme that it does. :cry: I guess I just never really 'questioned' it or God's sovereignty. All I know is that when my daughter died a few years ago.... all I could do to get through it and deal with the grief was to keep telling myself over and over again that "God meant it for good".... and then I allowed HIM to comfort me, as only HE could. And He DID!! (Even though it never goes away and the NEED for that comfort remains continually; He still provides.... and those he had brought into my life to give comfort as well. Praise Him and God Bless them!! My family and friends.)
