Bad thing Quote by Lynette Eason

“I know God could have stopped it but… he didn’t. And you can accept that? What choice do I have? Unless I want to be angry and bitter my whole life, I have to believe there’s a reason it happened. ….. It helps that I know God’s motives are good even when he allows bad things to happen.” quote by Lynette Eason
