I am one of those people that love God and all of His children so much that I feel overwhelmingly helpless when I hear, see, and learn of mass suffering, hatred, and destruction. I often have to turn away from news programs or put down the newspapers. I know that the horror doesn’t really go away when I do that, but it sort of helps me to cope.
As I read this chapter I relived the heartbreak of the first times I learned of the Rwandan Genocide and Ethnic Cleansing in Bosnia. It creates a ripple effect reminding me of so many other atrocities. I could hardly bear it! I stopped reading, closed, and put the book down.
