for Boston

Today someone placed several bombs around Boston. At least two of them were detonated during the Boston Marathon. The last report that we listened to said there were two people killed (I believe one was a young child) and over a hundred people injured.

The news is filled with stories from different witnesses and victims.  Social media is so full of comments that those who don't comment almost seem insensitive. Once again our nation's collective heart is breaking.

I am sad. I am angry. I am anxious. I am relieved that no one I know or am related to was anywhere near this madness.  And I almost feel guilty about feeling relieved when so many have been so injured and frightened.

And then I try to think how God must feel watching this all unfold. How His heart must rage at the injury caused to innocent people. How His heart must weep for anyone killed who had not accepted Him as Savior.

"If just once / I could see / This world / The way You see / I just know / I'd serve You / More faithfully."
