One Day He Will Set All Things Right

Why the long silence you ask?

Questions.
Lots of questions- unanswered questions about-

tragedy,
catastrophe,
suffering,
the death of a friend,
failures- my own and others'

Why?

I don't know but I recommend this book for those of you who have a relationship with God through Jesus and this book for my skeptic friends.

This I do know:

One day He will set all things right! All is not right within me and all is not right within the world. I have been redeemed and am a new creation in Christ Jesus, but I still struggle within this body and soul. I am looking forward to that day-when our bodies and when all creation will be redeemed. No more injustice, sorrow, pain, suffering, sickness, death, no more orphans, or cancer, tornadoes, hurricanes, tsunamis, earthquakes, oilspills, or floods.


"For instance, we know that when these bodies of ours are taken down like tents and folded away, they will be replaced by resurrection bodies in heaven—God-made, not handmade—and we'll never have to relocate our "tents" again. Sometimes we can hardly wait to move—and so we cry out in frustration. Compared to what's coming, living conditions around here seem like a stopover in an unfurnished shack, and we're tired of it! We've been given a glimpse of the real thing, our true home, our resurrection bodies! The Spirit of God whets our appetite by giving us a taste of what's ahead. He puts a little of heaven in our hearts so that we'll never settle for less."
II Cor. 5:2-5



"For all creation is waiting patiently and hopefully for that future day when God will resurrect his children. For on that day thorns and thistles, sin, death, and decay—the things that overcame the world against its will at God's command—will all disappear, and the world around us will share in the glorious freedom from sin which God's children enjoy. For we know that even the things of nature, like animals and plants, suffer in sickness and death as they await this great event." Romans 8:19-22, TLB5
