You get death notifications. Police and paramedic sirens. News of terminal cancer. Rebellion, pride and greed. Divorce and casualties. Violent crimes and ongoing wars. Someone has a stillborn and another has an abortion. Someone is sent to prison. Someone wants retaliation. Someone commits suicide. Various strongholds and addictions. Domestic violence. Child pornography. Human trafficking. Elderly abuse. Hatred, evil and destruction. Storms, fires and floods. Hurricanes, tornadoes and yes rare, but tsunami‘s. Kidnappings, rapes and murders. Mental health consumers. Unforgiveness and the need for revenge. Idolatry, false religions and unrepentance.
But with God, you also get mercy, grace and forgiveness. Because of Christ, you are also offered redemption, reconciliation and salvation. Yes! With each new day, you get free will. A precious priceless and oftentimes misused gift from the God who created you!
