Why?

Why did she have to die now? A child asked his dad: Why did God take my mother, if I need her here by my side? The dad in the midst of his own pain, didn't have the answer his son needed, and no one else in the family had a clear answer to the haunting question the child had. We may not have answers to the questions about death, illness and adversity, life presents us sometimes. The answer lies in two principles: First, we do not own anything. Everything we have, including life, is provided by God. Second, God is in control of the whole universe and He takes decisions that are for the comprehensive and universal good of all. As a result of these two principles, everything that happens, even if it hurts and we do not like it, is for good. Not necessarily good and nice to me. But good for "all of us" in the eternal and ever-present time of God. We enter into conflict in the face of adversity, because we want everything right, here and now, from the human perspective point of view. Then, if adversity comes, it hurts you and you have to suffer, always trust in God, because your fate is in the hands of a good God who loves you. Though you do not understand it at the time, if you trust Him, He will comfort you and make you understand His Eternal Purpose.
