God is on the throne and loves us unconditionally, but He’s not responsible for our mistakes or bad decisions. Isn’t it convenient to blame Him for everything that goes wrong? We all still have minds and wills and can suffer for our mistakes and bad choices.

This accident is so very, very sad and difficult to understand, but let’s put these families in God’s loving care and pray for them every day—and not blame the Creator of the Universe when we don’t understand something like this.

Everything… Maybe if you hadn’t lost your way, you’d be enjoying your grandchildren instead of rotting in hell…just saying

This sounds like a family of children. Please God have mercy on their family. May the one brother regain his health and let them all get the psychological counseling they will need to live through this tragedy. God have mercy on us all. Amen.
