God is Good (the question part 2)

Well here is the #1 truth that God has shown me while studying the book of Job. There is absolutely NO ONE I love enough that I would give my son for them, yet that is exactly what God did for me. As I have spent the week thinking about this truth it has continually left me amazed, after watching "the passion of the Christ" I wondered to myself what would I have done in Mary's shoes if you were watching roman soldiers brutally beat and kill your son, but honestly what could she have done but watch in horror. But His Father God could have stopped it at anytime with just a word, can you imagine all of heaven watching as sinful man abuses and crucifies the perfect Son of God. I sometimes wonder what the angels thought at that moment in history, did they watch in silent horror, did they ask God to send them to avenge this great injustice? I know we have no idea what the angels were thinking and it's not doctrinally important (hey I admitted I like to question) but as I thought about all of this, one thing is perfectly clear. What great love God has for me that He would pay such a high price to redeem me. I freely admit there is a lot I don't understand and I often ask why. Why wasn't my mom healed when we prayed, why are little children abused, why is a mom coming home from grocery shopping or a dad from the late shift at work killed by a drunk driver, why does a five year old get cancer, and I don't know, but I do know that God loves me, that He gave us the ultimate expression of love in Jesus. So while there are a lot of things I don't understand, and the pain of losing mom is still real I know beyond the shadow of a doubt that God loves me, that He is a good God, and I can safely trust in His plan for me. And I am truly amazed at God's immeasurable love for me Romans 8:38-39 For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
