I hear this a lot when tragedy happens. Where is God when such and such happens?
He is in the same place He was when his son was murdered on a cross two thousand years ago.
How can he let this happen?
God gave man choice. Man chooses to do evil. You can’t have it both ways. Believe me, His heart is broken just as much as ours is, and He has been privy to our actions for all of time and knows what is coming down the line.
