I've been watching a few good movies. The Hiding Place [Corrie Ten Boom and her family]. Fiddler on the Roof.
The Hiding Place is about a Dutch family who is God-fearing. They hide Jews during World War 2 and they get caught after a few months of helping many Jews. The conviction of the Ten Boom family, especially the father in the face of death is so inspiring. Corrie and her sister Betsie were sent to prison and then to a concentration camp. The conditions were atrocious...Corrie struggles so much to overcome hate.
"There is no pit so deep that God is not deeper still", Betsie says.She died in the camp of illness and hunger.
I was watching the movie for the first time though I've read the book many times before. I was thinking, I would have struggled more than Corrie. HATE...for the Germans....for the people who killed my sister and my father and my nephews. Caused the death of brothers and neighbours. Yet, they continued on, overcoming with love....love....strong Christlike love.
I also watched Fiddler on the Roof. The pogroms conducted by the European countries throughout the years. Raiding, killing, burning, destroying.....
I was asking in my heart....WHY WHY WHY? Why were people so cruel? Why would you intentionally persecute a people like that? Destroying their things intentionally, ruining their livelihoods.
WHY?How did the Germans at that time get to a stage of such deception that sin was not sin anymore....'Jews are a lowerclass race', 'Jews are barely human', 'Old people should be destoryed. they are useless', 'Retarded people should be extreminated', 'Blacks are at a lower stage of evolution compared to Aryans'......
I felt like screaming though I've known this history for a long time.
How does God stand this?No, i'm not accusing God of being cruel. Infact. He is too humane. If I were God.....I would wipe out the human race.Again....rainbow or no rainbow....I'd kill all this people who have turned his world into a hell....It's not his fault that Satan and man want to make horrendous choices...People who are cruel, sadistic, killing, stealing, destroying....
O but God's love.....still so ready to forgive......
I must remember I am also one....whom God must cringe at many a time becoz of sin....
Yet....he is patient for everyone to come to repentance that no one should perish.....it is not his will.
O God.....what pain your heart must be in watching all of this everyday....
Thank God for Jesus.
