Life, even to the casual observer never appears to be remotely fair, but on occasion, even that unfair reality takes a drastic turn for the worse and becomes unfathomably evil.  When it does, so many wise and godly people wonder why and look to blame someone. 

The reality is as simple as God exists and loves His children.  God has an enemy and just as God is love, His enemy is hate.  St. John saw this reality and wrote what he understood, so we could withstand the unfairness of this experience called life.  Revelation 12; God who created Heaven and Earth gave us who live on earth and those who live in heaven, the ability to reject Him.  In Heaven, Satan rejected God, fought against Him, lost the war and was thrown out of heaven, down to earth.  Satan knows his time is short and is doing everything in his power to destroy God's work and what God loves - the children of God.  When bad things happen to good people who love God, it's simple; Satan and his children are actively trying to destroy God.  If you cannot get at your enemy to hurt him, you hurt those closest to him that you can get at.  

Unfortunately, the wise and intelligent of this world have chosen to forget the reality of God - a remarkable hold over from the 60's God is Dead movement.  They have chosen to believe in their wisdom, because if God is dead/does not exist, then neither does the enemy of God.  Thus, when the Father of Hate strikes; when the servant of hate does what his father wants, to kill and destroy, there is no one to blame.  So based on their flawed logic people look to explain why this evil just happened and blame someone they don't like. 

So we, who know and love God, who do what God has taught us, who hold on to the truth that God loves us and will never abandon us, we know who is responsible for the unfairness and evil in the world.  In His time God will lift us up and will more than restore us, for nothing can ever separate us from His love.  Whatever loss we think we have experienced, it will be more than restored.  Whatever we think could have been will become more than our imaginations could have dreamed of.  Our trust in God will always be proven worthy; we will never know loss or disappointment when God reveals the reality of our life lived in Him.  Fact: God loves his children, just like He loved His only begotten Son and raised Him up and glorified Him, and so He will raise us up.  

For those who can, let the Holy Spirit that dwells next to your spirit, walk with you, guide you as you comfort and lift up your bothers and sisters in their most difficult of times.   

Everything of value started some where at some time for some reason. 

I wonder what the ratio of great endings compared to the sum total of all things started would look like.  Or if, say you could actually have a hint of, or catch a glimpse of what you were about to begin doing, how it would turn out.  Perhaps it is really a blessing that we cannot see very far into the future, or be able to evaluate where what is beginning might end up.  God probably knew our capacity for handling the cascading nature of history and our ability to weigh the good and bad of it, is seriously lacking. 

Would the Wright bothers have continued their project if they could have seen the way mankind would use their innovation during World War II and the devastating impact delivered to the innocent ones who had not one ounce of control over what happened to the world around them?  Then again, who can measure the good done with the delivery of humanitarian aid to those helpless thousands in need, or the life flight for the innocent child, who suffers the result of a drunk driver or the hideous rampage of an out of control disease and needs to get to the only source of help quickly.  

Maybe it is good we cannot see very far into the future; good we cannot see the bad that can happen to the good idea and the good that can come out of the bad beginning.  I personally am glad I have limited understanding of the complicated future and have lived long enough to learn the reality of "in all things God works for the good of those who love Him, who have been called according to His purpose."  What will come of those projects we start in life, whether they have great endings or not, we know whatever happens, God is a part of it; therefore, just as St. Augustine said, "love God and do what you want." I start what I do because I want to, then ask Him to bless it and say everyday, "Thank you God for letting me be a part of it."
