Today my daily devotional <\/a>really spoke to me, especially this section:<\/p>\n

When we hear of inexplicable tragedies, let’s be content to leave the “why” question unanswered. Assured of God’s love (Romans 8:39), let’s look at these events as a time for self-examination and repentance. \u00c3\u00a2\u00e2\u201a\u00ac\u00e2\u20ac\u009dHerb Vander Lugt <\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Tomorrow is my mum’s<\/a> 51st birthday. Since January 2004, mum has been in coma as a result of injuries sustained in a plane crash<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Inspite of my faith I do sometimes find myslef asking “why?” and last night I had one of those “why?” moments. <\/p>\n

I put off reading my devotional until later because I had ‘better’ things to do. <\/p>\n

Yet reading it now I realise how much grief I would have saved myself if I had simply thanked God for all His blessings and said sorry for all my errors. <\/p>\n

Thankfully it is never too late.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
