I don’t understand.

 

I don’t understand how going to the theater turns into a funeral

 

I don’t understand how blaming those fleeing for their lives makes any sense.

 

I don’t understand how hatred toward a whole people group solves anything.

 

I don’t understand why there were two terrorist attacks this week and mainstream media only reported on one.

 

I don’t understand.

 

————————————————-

 

I understand.

 

I understand this isn’t Heaven.

 

I understand that God is sovereign and intimate, just and kind.

 

I understand our need to stand with the wounded and champion those who have no one to tell their story.

 

I understand the poor in spirit, the meek, the mourning are called blessed in Jesus’ Kingdom.

 

I understand not a sparrow falls without Him knowing.

 

I understand we don’t have to understand right now. Because He does.

 

I understand one day we will all understand.

 

 

Thy Kingdom come, Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven…
