Tragedy and Trust
Friday, May 23, 2008
Yesterday I heard the news of the tragic death of Steven Curtis Chapman's youngest daughter Maria. Tears flowed as I immediately felt the pain of her parents, her brothers and sisters. How sad that her life ended so abruptly. How devastating for all.
But when my emotions began to settle a little and I thought about the foundation of faith which this family has my thoughts began to turn. God is love. This did not happen as a surprise Him. So I wonder what He is up to. Oh, I might never know in my lifetime. But this one thing I do know. He is still continuing to work out His Purposes in the lives of those who love and trust Him. Many, many around the world have been touched. Thousands in the adoption family have been deeply moved. In our pain we look to Him in faith and trust. God always gives us reason to hope.
We grieve with the Chapman family. For those who wish to send condolences please check out the Steven Curtis Chapman website. We pray for all the family. And we continue to gaze on the One Who is the Healer of broken hearts. He is faithful all the time.
