The news media makes every tragedy in the world seem like it is right next door. This could be a good thing for we all find ourselves looking the other way. We need to know the pain of others. It makes us rely on our creator all the more:

One Mans Doom!


 


A favorite quote of mind has always been,


“One mans doom is another’s salvation.


For it has not only to do with a mans need to sin


But also his ability to confess and receive God’s revelation.


For tragedy exists all around us every day of our life


If we are drawn into it’s horrible snare


We will find ourselves overcome with such strife


That we will surely think there is nobody to care


If we live or we die, if we hurt or we our life is sublime.


We will find ourselves caught up in the woes and despair.


However, we learn to accept the troubles of our time


By laying them on God for he is always there.


He loves us in spite of our own lack of love for one another


When tragedy strikes it is an opportunity for me


To help renew the faith and the life of a brother


So when the days seem dark and filled with strife


Look for the sunshine and remember the rain


Brings not only destruction but most times it brings life


Help your brother and when you do you will grow as you minister to his pain


You both will be made stronger and able to cope with whatever life may bring.


You and your brother can then proudly sing


To the creator of all, who works all things for good of those who believe


And even your heartaches his love will relieve.
