It's not Right!

Recently I was reminded of a family member who was taken from us at a young age.

At the funeral, I hugged his mom and tearfully whispered, "It's not right for a parent to outlive a child."

It's not right for a parent to watch their child die!

It's not.

It's not right for a flag-draped coffin to be a parent's reward for raising a patriot.

It's not okay for an infant to taste life only to never experience it.

To watch cancer take your child piece by piece is not just.

Or right.

It's wrong. One-hundred percent wrong.

"Again Jesus cried out with a loud shout. Then He died."
(Mark 27)

When I read about Jesus' execution and see the earthquakes and the no sun and all that other craziness, you know what I see?

The broken heart of every parent who has lost a child.

I see God telling us, "You're not alone."

Praying for all parents who have lost or are losing a child.
