Recently, I heard a mother talking about her teen age daughter’s untimely death. This beautiful young girl was killed in an automobile accident while on an outing with a friend. There was no drugs or drinking involved, the friend was just driving too fast for her experience and lost control on a dangerous curve. The young girl was active in her church, a good student in school, loving and was loved by her family. She had most of a normal life ahead of her, and there was promise of good things to come.
The question, “why her?” was asked by her mother and many others. Why would God allow her to be born and yet allow her to die before her life came into fruition.
After many months, I don’t know that the question has been resolved in minds of some. Can God be blamed? Can the driver be blamed? Most of us are not exempt from unusual circumstance. Things happen that we do not understand, but I feel most at ease when my faith in God has moved me toward acceptance.
About some things, my human insight is obscure, so I do better when I put my trust in one who clearly sees the whole. Maybe there are some human questions for which there are no human answers.
