God Forgives and God Loves Us All

God is a forgiving God, and for that I am thankful! Awhile back a friend and I were at odds over some stuff that I just couldn't swallow the fact that God could love someone that could do so many bad things, murder, rape and etc...how could my God love anyone like that like he loves me! My mind couldn't wrap around that. Me a mother of five children, someone who has never harmed anyone on purpose sure I know I have probably hurt people's feelings but never really meant to but basically I have a squeaky clean past and I haven't committed any crimes at all. How could God love someone like Osama Bin Laden. I was so not understanding my friend or where she was coming from at all not even a little bit my heart and my head didn't want to believe that God could care for the evil, and corrupt people out there in this world. But finally this week it sunk in and I finally got it. After the ruling of the Casey Anthony trial and she was found not guilty and I had been reading news boards, message boards posts by Christians saying they hope she burns in hell, and how they wished they would have "fried her" it hit me I got it and it hurt me to see people proclaiming to be Christians saying such nasty things.They shouldn't be saying such things they should be praying for her soul, praying for the truth, praying for what is right and just in this world not praying for another human beings demise when there wasn't enough evidence to convict her. She might not have been the best mother in the world I'm sure she wouldn't be up for mother of the year I'm sure she neglected her at times probably for her own selfish ways, it has been proven that she lied but people lie often, there are other bad parents out there but none of them have murdered their child. Who is to say she murdered hers? She is God's to judge in the end, and if she seeks forgiveness for her sins she too will be welcomed into heaven because our God is a forgiving God, a loving God and he doesn't want not a single soul to be lost to Satan. We shouldn't rejoice in anyone's death, or anyone's life being in jeopardy we should be praying for them. It's sad when anyone dies harder when it's a small child but when we step away and look at the bigger picture if we believe in God then we know that Caylee is in heaven with her heavenly father and she is at peace, she is not in pain, she is not suffering  at all. Casey will have to be stuck here earth bound and having to live with what has happen to her child be it at her hands, or due to her neglect. And other Christians pointing fingers wanting her to burn in hell is no better than a murderer 1 John 3:15 Anyone who hates another brother or sister is really a murderer at heart. And you know that murderers don't have eternal life within them.  Remember yall things are sometimes not what they seem you know part of the story you don't know all of the story but our God does know it all! Do not rejoice in anyone's death do not hold hate or contempt in your heart for another person for God loves us all even the wicked.
