A Father Who Understands

As we spend time today, honoring those who died on September 11, 2001, let us consider something that my pastor shared with us:

We have a God who understands the pain of losing someone to an unjust death.

God’s Son, Jesus, died unfairly.  The only man to walk this earth without committing a single sin died at others’ hands.

God heard the sobs of the disciples and Jesus’s family, and God heard our cries on September 11th, 2001.  Not only that, but He hears our cries today.  Yes, our circumstances may be different…sickness, natural disasters, accidents.  The pain is no less, and in His compassion, God’s heart breaks for us.

Let us never forget the lessons of September 11th, and let us never forget that God is with us, especially in the midst of heartbreak.
