I have watched the news. 

I have seen the look in their eyes. 

Pain. Anger. Complete shock. Desperation. 

But can you imagine what He is feeling. He Who created each of those kids. He Who created that 20 year old shooter. 

What grief He must be feeling watching this unfold. Even though He knew what was going to happen today.  We have created this evil. We have grieved His heart. 

The world in which we live is evil. There is no way around that. We have allowed sin to overtake the world. 

I fear this is only the beginning. I don't think our world is going to improve. Not this side of heaven. We will reach out to them. We will band together to support, love, and pray for them. But the root of our world is still evil. 

Satan will only have his way for so long. 

Be near, Dear Lord Jesus in heaven. Bring us to our knees. Come quickly.  Please come ever so swiftly.
