Heaven's View...

The other day we received word that a recent colleague that worked at the school where I currently teach, was mercilessly murdered while attempting to help the less fortunate in Nepal. The initial thoughts were, what a waste of such a young life, a sweet spirit, a giving soul. Maybe with more forethought she could have avoided this situation and truthfully, maybe so, but let's take a look at heaven's potential view....

Now this young lady was an art teacher by profession, and the person who murdered her brutally was also a teacher in Nepal. Could it be that Dahlia's life was a sacrifice for countless children, by losing her own life she has likely saved hundreds of children in this poverty stricken area, because this evil person will no longer be allowed to be around other helpless, vulnerable children? Could it be that God sent his special angel, to save his children in Nepal?

As a parent, of a daughter close in age, I would never wish to sacrifice my own in such a way and would warn of all the dangers in doing what Dahlia did, but from heaven's view, perhaps she was called and answered that calling deep within her soul.....without even fully understanding herself.

John 15:13 "Greater love hath no man than to lay down his life for his friends".....

We may never understand everything on this side of heaven, but I pray for healing and comfort to Dahlia's family and friends during this time of personal loss, here on earth.
