what the world needs to realize

Our God is not a hateful one. He is not a hurtful one.
many people wont believe in Him because they ask the questions and wonder why if He is so full of love that how He would allow them to hurt or to take away loved ones life. and i dont know the correct answer to His reasoning but i like to think that God will take a life for safety. a family friend had passed away a few years back and i remember my brother and mom discussing it on the way there. she was very young, close to the age i am now. and i remember them saying that they didnt understand why God would take such a young life away. but while saying that, they were trying to figure out why. and i remember one of them saying that maybe "He took her to keep her from further harm, that maybe something in her life that was coming up would cause her a lot of pain", so He brought her to heaven. a safe and beautiful place. and that has stayed with me every since. when i hear of a life being taking away, i often think that their future did not hold good, it would be filled with hurt and pain... maybe more then they were feeling or experiencing at the time they were breathing. and also that there purpose for here on this earth has been done.  which is hard to think because when you love that person you cant help your human mind and think but i needed that person. they brought life, love and joy to my own. but as some of us drift away, like after graduating from high school and going off to college and starting the rest of your life. most of those people you spent your life with wont be apart of your life after you walk in to that campus or where ever it is life takes you.
and i had the question filling me but what if they are not saved. but then an answer filled my being. God knows the future of our life, and like i said before how i think He will take us for safety comes into play with this also. no maybe they never got saved but He knew they never would find Him... because selfish people like my self and others are to afraid to speak the truth, to be honest and to show his love and grace. some may ask but if He knew they would never find Him then why would he bother creating them. because even know they may not have known Christ and never would, they still had a purpose. it could have been one word or even one smile or it could have been something huge. but regardless they had a purpose and they had someone in their life that was meant to speak into them but they never did. and i know the questions keep coming... its never ending. we cant ever wrap our head around it and we can never fully understand the answers we get to it. we can make more sense of it and try to get a better grip of understanding but we'll never fully understand. that is how He made it. with a purpose for it also. if we did know the answer, we would never need Him. would never look at Him the same... its in this confusion state of mind that keeps us in awe of Him and curious. if we weren't, we wouldnt ever wanna talk to Him or learn more from Him.
i know some people think that when a loved one or even them selfs, that when something bad happens to them, God doesnt care. He doesnt love. but oh how He does. a room full of darkness cant come to life untill the light shines. it has to be dark and then the light can come. that is so how it is with life. you wont learn anything unless you go through the "darkness" but after you have then you will see the "light".
