When angels cry...

This past weekend, a friend of mine called with the most terrible kind of news...
a very dear friend of hers husband had been found dead...
he had committed suicide...
the details are still sketchy and personal to the family...
but this one event has touched many lives...
and those left behind trying to make sense out of chaos...
which can't be done...
it goes against everything the rest of us believe in....
and it goes against God's timing for us...
this kind of death has no consolations that God is in charge and knows what he is doing...
was this man's death in vain???
absolutely...and maybe not completely...
for those who have been touched...
their lives will never be the same...
if it stops one other person from carrying out such a tragedy...
if for one moment someone rethinks their actions...
for there is no glory for those who determine their own time...
only God is allowed to do that...
there is only glory to those who finish the tasks...
who wait for the call...
and put faith in God's time...
in His care....
please remember this family and all their friends...
as they suffer the loss of not only his life...
but of the sadness in knowing it is unforgivable in God's eyes...
and the loss is forever...
and that only God can heal a wound so deep...
