Where Is God When Little Children Suffer? - Patrick A Parnell - November-December 1985

Patrick A Parnell

Why does God allow human heartache and misery? But especially, why does God let tragedy strike little children? A MOTHER wrote a letter to a syndicated newspaper columnist. In it she said: "I can tell you firsthand that of all human suffering, none can equal the pain of a mother who must put her young child into a grave." Another mother recently had to face that pain. Her ll-year-old son Kevin died after suffering most of his life from cystic fibrosis. She described Kevin 's moving last words. She held Kevin through the final night. In the morning he knelt in his hospital bed and with his remaining breath said: "Not yet. Not yet. I'm not ready yet." - Information Supplied By: Herbert W Armstrong Library
