What has happened in Haiti makes me so sad. It is unbelievable to me that an earthquake like that could even happen. And of all of the places, the most impoverished country in the western hemisphere, in the most populated city of the country, was where it hit.
I believe God is in control, but I don't pretend to understand it all. I am reminded by my dear friend Alex, who holds Haiti close to her heart, to cling to Revelation 21.
'Then I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away, and the sea was no more. And I saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband. And I heard a loud voice from the throne saying, 'Behold, the dwelling place of God is with man. He will dwell with them, and they will be his people, and God himself will be with them as their God. He will wipe away every tear from their eyes, and death shall be no more, neither shall there be mourning, nor crying, nor pain anymore, for the former things have passed away.'"
A friend of mine from FL is a missionary in Haiti. Here's his blog.
