Why does He let it happen?
Then again, where was God when Jesus, his son, cried out from the cross, “My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?” Was there ever a time of greater loneliness? Has anyone ever felt more abandoned? Sure, I can read that passage and know that in three days, Jesus rose from the dead and his misery was transformed into victory, a victory for us all, but when you’re really in the pit of despair that’s hard to hold on to.
