My heart grieves at the news, but I know God is in control. He has a plan and is never surprised by the devastation of sin. I am so thankful He does not give up on us. Even when we are at our worst, He still loves us. What a beautiful thing His love is and what a wonderful calling we have to demonstrate it to others.
