God knows when we're going to die, how and where. The people of Haiti have suffered from it's leaders through all these years and now this devastating earthquake. The people who have died are no longer suffering but the living continues the almost never ending agony. I know that when you lose a loved one, no reason will ease your heart but only the comforting touch of God. That is why it is better to be quiet around someone who had suffered a loss because to say "I understand what you're going through" is not really true. You and I may have an "idea" of their pain but we could never fathom the depth of their suffering.
We may never understand the events in our life: good or bad, but one thing for sure, God is sovereign and His decisions are always the best for us in the end. I am not minimizing anyone's pain, but I have to say that God has pre-ordained for this earthly body to be destroyed in order for it to be able to walk through the curtain to meet our Maker.The flesh and bones are scattered all over the landscape of Haiti, but we can take comfort in knowing that their Spirit is with their Maker. If one has accepted and believed that Jesus' death on the cross was enough to reconcile him back to his Maker, then he is saved and in the presence of God right now. Haitians, take courage, it's ok for you to ask the question, "Where is God in all of these?" The answer is, He is sitting exactly at the same place, where He was, when His son was hanging on the cross.
