Heavy Heart

My heart has been very heavy today.
Yesterday I learned that a young man only 23 lost his life in an auto accident.
This morning I woke up to the news that a local mother and daughter 
were also killed in an auto accident yesterday.
These things I won't ever understand. 
My heart breaks for these families.
Our family knows this pain all too well. 
Even so...God is still God.
He is merciful and He is just.
He did not cause any of this and I believe His heart breaks too.
I truly believe there is something so much better waiting for us on the other side
if we belong to HIM.

So...why do these things happen?
One of my recent devotional readings addressed this and it brought me comfort.
It was talking about troubles in this life and this is what it said:

" It’s not the way God originally intended life to be, but when the human race first succumbed to Satan’s seduction in the garden, everything on this planet fell into the grip of sin. And the result has been disorder and dysfunction ever since."

You can read the complete reading from that day here.
