First, we must look to heaven. They're not my babies, because my children are in the arms of Jesus. You look to heaven. You realize part of the conforming work that Jesus does in us is reminding us that this life is temporary. Understand that when your loved ones die, it's only for a brief time.
Years are brief compared to millenniums eternal.
There's not going to be any more anger, depression, alcoholism and shootings and all those kinds of things. That's going to be gone. But in the meantime, God wants us to use those adversities to point people to Him so that they can come to the realization that there's more to life than the here and now. He wants them to understand that they can have a destiny in heaven. You see, I'm confident that God has more planned for Jan through the lives of these children than we could ever conceive.
