Ever asked yourself, where is God when...?

          "In God we trust" has been a slogan that is used for our nation and that is printed in particular areas that at times can be very contradictory! There has always been a BIG question that everyone would love to know the answer to especially if we say "in God we trust,"and that question is "God, where are you?" Many will out of simplicity say that God is in heaven of course, but the question is about where He is in the time of tragedy or catastrophes, or even maybe during bumpy times in our personal lives.

*I would love to share this website that will perfectly answer your question to this:

God has created humanity with the ability to choose. This means that we are not forced into a relationship with Him. He allows us to reject Him and to commit other evil acts as well. He could force us to be loving. He could force us to be good. But then what kind of relationship would we have with Him? It would not be a relationship at all, but a forced, absolutely controlled obedience. Instead He gave us the human dignity of free will.
Naturally, we cry from the depths of our souls..."But God, how could You let something of this magnitude happen?"
How would we want God to act? Do we want Him to control the actions of people? In the case of dealing with a terrorist attack, what could possibly be an acceptable number of deaths for God to allow?! Would we feel better if God allowed only the murder of hundreds? Would we rather God allowed only the death of one person? Yet if God would prevent the murder of even one person, there is no longer freedom to choose. People choose to ignore God, to defy God, to go their own way and commit horrible acts against others.

The video above is an awesome and powerful song that is suitable for any tragedy, but in this time, it is dedicated to the people in Northern Japan and surrounding countries that got part of the damage that has taken place. My heart and prayers are with Japan and those that suffered from this recent tragedy.

          I hope you found time to look at or read the website that I shared with you above and really think about. God has been waiting for us to call on him, how can we ask where HE is when He has been there the entire time! Much love! If you're reading this, comment below your thoughts about the website I shared or what you think of what has been going on in Japan.
