You don't even know what my prayer was! What I said to God! And it wasn't about "saving" my mother. That was the added benefit to my resolve!
And my mom died 2 years later, anyway! But it was the best 2 years of our relationship! We got a lot of things talked about, and figured out! I do miss her.
What that incident was, was a moment of Faith. I have enough Faith in God, that I know He will do what is necessary.
I don't know the exact reasons "why" for anything. But I know the reason "what".
I know "what" happens when I trust God. And I know what happens when men are involved.
I pray for those "babies" and a lot of other things too! But I also know that I, alone, have no control over anything in this world! The reason those babies are dying is man-made! Not God!
So, is God ignoring the babies? Or is He ignoring what man has done to make them that way?
What "IF" God did indeed come down from Heaven and helped those dying babies? And ONLY the dying babies. What would happen?
How would men "use" that to their advantage? How would they scheme to steal the power for themselves. You know, and I know that "some"... a lot of people would actually put children in harms way to test God!
Its human nature! that's why its set up this way. No one wins but God. No one. We are either on His team... or the alternative! Simple.
You didn't answer my question. Why did your god save your mother? Why doesn't he save starving children?
