“Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.” M11:28-30
These last two weeks has been really hard. A dear close relative lost her baby this week, almost full term. I am really trying to understand why..I have too many why's lately...
I am trying to understand WHY I am still childless, why my spouse and the OW had to conceive a child together. WHY do babies get taken away so quickly.. WHY mother's can throw away their babies..
One verse that keeps coming up in my mind is the following:
“We know that God causes all things to work together for good to those who love God, to those who are called according to His purpose” (Rom. 8:28).
With all the why's, I'll hold onto this; that He has a bigger purpose.
To Everything There is a Season
1To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven:

Ecclesiastes 3
2A time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to pluck up that which is planted;
3A time to kill, and a time to heal; a time to break down, and a time to build up;
4A time to weep, and a time to laugh; a time to mourn, and a time to dance;
5A time to cast away stones, and a time to gather stones together; a time to embrace, and a time to refrain from embracing;
6A time to get, and a time to lose; a time to keep, and a time to cast away;
7A time to rend, and a time to sew; a time to keep silence, and a time to speak;
8A time to love, and a time to hate; a time of war, and a time of peac
Dear precious Elora I am so sorry for all the hurt and all the questions you have and I am so very very sorry about your friend’s baby. I am praying that our precious Darling Lord will comfort your friend.
“Jesus Christ, the Father of compassion and the God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our troubles, so that we can comfort those in any trouble with the comfort we ourselves receive from God. For just as we share abundantly in the sufferings of Christ, so also our comfort abounds through Christ.” 2C1:3-5 https://www.bible.com/bible/111/2CO.1.3-5.NIV
Years ago I too had so many questions, questions why my husband left me, questions why they had a normal baby and my baby had a stroke before before birth, but what I now know is that our Darling Lord really turns all the hurt around and really works it out for the good and He is also the One that brings healing just as long as we turn to Him with all our hurt and all our questions.

Dearest Elora, I am so sorry to hear about the loss of the baby, that is so heartbreaking. We do not understand His reason or purpose behind everything that happens, but we can rest in the fact that He is in control, and nothing catch Him off guard.
I also went through a “WHY-stage”, but my Beloved Lord taught me to surrender every “Why” to Him who knows everything. He knows our future, and He is working on a beautiful picture, even if we cannot see it now, we must just trust in Him and His purpose.
Dear Elora, I can understand why you get questions in this difficult situation. It’s so sad to experience this. For years I’ve had questions about why, as one terrible trial after another came my way. While I was asking myself how could I possibly have to go through all this, even tougher trials came.
Now I know that everything happened because it was part of His plan.
I am grateful that you hold on to His words in all your struggles. Keep doing it!! Every time there’s a “why?” comes into your heart, you must go to Him.
