God Exists

There is no question in my mind that God exists. I know He is there. I know He created me, the trees, the mountains and everything else in heaven and on earth. I recognize His Hand in my life. I know that I am a child of God and because I know that I have a core feeling of peace and contentment. Knowing that I am a child of God gives my life meaning and direction.

 I recently began an internship at the Children's Justice Center. I work with children and youth who have been sexually abused. It at times can be extremely difficult. On a day-to-day basis I hear the most horrific stories that just make your stomach churn. I see heartache, trauma, and work with children who have been victimized in the most horrible way!

I have found myself asking, "Why God, why would you let this happen to your children?" This question has been stirring in my mind for several weeks now. How could a loving Father in Heaven allow such terrible things happen to His children?

Deep in my heart and soul stirs the reassurance that not only that God exists, but that He loves each one of us so much. He knows everything that we go through and everything that we are going to face. I am grateful for the knowledge that He can heal any wound. I am grateful to know that someday we will live with Him again and anything that might be wrong in this world will be made right. I know this to be true!
