breaking heart

today we had two really hard lectures in uni
the first one was about sexual violence and honour crimes
and the second about famine, poverty and aid..
its hard to trust God when there is so much horrific suffering in the world
today God really broke my heart for young people and young women who suffer so much at the hands of those who are supposed to love and cherish them
of course there is my human nature that wants to blame God for this,
to be angry at him
but i know that i can't
i trust God, and trust that he has a plan
he see's the big picture and i am sure there is a purpose for this
i was reminded of the power of prayer, the importance of tithing not just to my church but to charities that i trust will make a difference and i was also reminded of Daniel 4v35
"No one can hold back his hand, or say to him; 'What have you done?'"

i believe God loves passionately
i believe he is a wrathful God
i believe he is just
i believe that my cries are heard by him
i believe he has a plan that is about his glory
i believe we have free will
sometimes these things don't add up in my tiny little finite brain
