Innocent Lives Lost

We are all saddened by the loss of so many innocent lives. Many are angry and many are distraught. We all want to know how this could happen? How could God allow for such a tragedy to occur? The lives of innocent people and children were taken. However, it wasn't just those who lost their lives. Think about all those who will have to live with the fact of what they witnessed.

Tragedy and loss are at the forefront. Death is something that each of their parents will have to explain to them. To all these children who watched a life being taken, an innocent soul lost for them I pray. Many parents have lost their children and I don't just mean the little ones. Six women sacrificed their lives to protect others.

I know we want to know why, but knowing why won't solve anything. It won't bring all these children back, it won't ease the pain. Don't worry why it happened, because nothing they say will make it better or easier. I know we all want to hate this person who did this. You see he wasn't an adult he was a kid with a monster inside that was fed pure evil. We can't say he was like the rest of us. I think that his soul was gone. Only a monster within could have caused him to kill so many innocent lives. To look into the eyes of another human being and kill them with no regard is heartless. Hate that monster that made him do it, not God.

A beautiful wise woman once said to me, it isn't that God isn't there it is that they lack God in their life.

My personal view is Love God. For he is the one that was in each adult that sacrificed their lives to save so many children. God was in the heart of all those children who saved a friend that day and led them to safety. Lives were lost, but lives were also saved. Thanks to the humanity within each of those teachers that saved their students lives. So many other lives were sacrificed for these children to make it out. This isn't  a lesson to all of us but an experience for us to live by. It is a loss of innocence and lives being taken but mourn for the lives lost and rejoice for the peace in which they are now in. We are living with pain and hurt and they are now with their maker looking down on us protecting us.

I know that many of us feel that religion isn't exactly on our side and many of us myself included haven't made peace with God. But this is just my thought especially when faced with such a tragedy.
