Is He the One?
Many times Christians are asked how they can believe in a God that allows such horrific things o happen in the world. I struggle with that question because I’m an optimist at heart. I tend to see the positives as outweighing the negative. Don’t get me wrong, I’m well aware of the evils of the world. I have 4 children and am daily praying for ways to maneuver life in the safest way so I can raise my children peacefully knowing that chaos abounds in our world. But I think for the most part I’m more likely to see the good in the world than I am to point out all the bads.
