She was murdered. Why is it allowed??

[InvisibleExistence]

It was a girl at my school's 16th birthday last week. She should be having fun with her friends, laughing and tearing open presents. She should be going out and having the time of her life.

But she's not, because she's dead. Two years ago she disappeared and we never saw her alive again. She was found six months later in a woods somewhere, because someone, was sick enough to abduct her. To end her whole life for a couple of seconds of his sick, perverted pleasure. And to leave us all without her, to leave a sister without a sister, a mum and dad without a daughter and friends without a friend.

I don't even know why i'm getting so het up about it. I wasn't a close friend. She was two years above me, whilst she was 13 I was just 12. She was doing SATS and I was just getting used to a new secondary school. But I still miss her loads. A day doesn't go by when I don't think about her. The press went mad and a whole nation mourned when she was found. But no one experienced it like our school did, with press everywhere just trying to get a good story.

Everyone is moving on now, but I can't forget her. I can't forget her smile or anything. And sometimes, when i'm depressed, unhappy, angry, jealous, if i've mucked something up... I always think, it should of been me, and not her. She wouldn't have messed everything up like me. She was happy but now she's gone.

Sorry this was a ramble. Had to get it out really. But what I don't get is how I prayed EVERY NIGHT for six whole months.. hundreds and hundreds of times. Some alone, sometimes with others. I was so convinced God would listen and bring her back. But He DIDN'T.

Why??

I thought that when my daughter died, that the morgue would be calling me at any minute saying..............Mam, You daughter is alive and breating. I waited for 3 days hoping for that phone call. Never happened.

Why is a question all of us ask. More importanly What now Lord? Is a better qustiong to be asking. Have you called her mother latley and told her that you have NOT forgotten her? Oh how badley that mother would love to hear her daughters name just mentioned so that she can know in her mind that her daughter was real. It has been 2 years, and her name is not mentioned much anymore. Make that call, the Mum won't forget you for it!

There is no answer to the question "Why."
You'll go crazy trying to figure it out.
I knew a girl who died in a car wreck at about 15. I had just finished talking to her at work. She was dating a guy we worked with and we always liked to harass her. She was so alive. It's been about 12 years and I still can't forget it. So young. Her name was Jill.

These letters are so tragic. You will never forget her. But, her death was not permitted by God for God has commanded us not to kill another human being. With this type of a thing only one word springs to my mind..."satanic"
No...God will not bring her back honey. A being took her life from her and my heart grieves for all of you.
Instead, God wants you to go on and to take care through your life. To stay very, very close to Him.
You have been placed in a position where your faith has been tested to the utmost. And yet you have still clung to God. This is so very precious. Go forward in the Name of Jesus, and, never forget her....

InvisibleExistence. I see you are from the UK. Perhaps you are familiar with the murder of Jodi Jones? I never knew her, but she lived not far from me. It's amazing that it's over a year since she was brutally murdered and that the police have only just named the suspect-her 15 year old boyfriend.

I agree with bevlina about the satan thing. I mean, this Luke guy who killed Jodi...before he was arrested photos were taken of him stubbing out cigarettes on Jodi's grave while 'mourning' for her. God would have listened to your prayers, and his heart would be, and still is breaking because He couldn't grant them. It's taken me a long time to realise that we don't always get what we so desperately seek. I know that it feels so unjust-that a young girl can be taken so young and the murderer doesn't get punished accordingly. Telling you that God will punsh him doesn't mean much at this stage...but he willl rot in Hell for what he has done.

Satan can defeat some people and drive then to suc things, but they'll stay with Satan and beg for God to save then. It'll be too late though.

"Why, then, do bad things happen to good people? (freewill) One reason is that our being human leaves us free to hurt each other, and God can't stop us without taking away the freedom that makes us human. Human beings can cheat each other, rob each other, hurt each other, and God can only look down in pity and compassion at how little we have learned over the ages about how human beings should behave." It was not God who caused it. It was caused by human beings choosing to be cruel to their fellow man.

Don't blame God for what humans do. One thing though that God does give free will and the wrongs that man will do God can turn the situation around and use for His glory.

And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose” Rom. 8:28

Why is the biggest question all of us would like to ask God about. I've lost a few people for the past seven years.

The first one was one of my supervisor whom I worked with after I've finished high school. She was murdered by her husband by pushing her down an apartment from the 12th floor.

The second one was a friend whom was raped and murdered. I was studying at Australia then and just before she met with this, she wrote me to say that she wants to meet up with me when I come back. Two weeks before I step back at my hometown, she was already been raped by three men and murdered and I was so shocked. Until today, I still couldn't forget her smile, her cheerful face, etc. but nobody wants to talk about her at all. Perhaps, that's our culture here...

The third person was a young boy who passed away 3 days before his 17th birthday due to heart disease. I don't know this boy that well but I'm very shocked to learn this news. Before he went home to be with the Father, his health was catching up. Neither one of his family members were saved then but after the death, they came to know the Lord. I admired him for standing up for Jesus when the mother wanted to take him to a medium to get help, he refused!

The fourth person was a 72 year old man who passed away after he suffered from six months stroke. I'm felt very painful in my heart because he's children whom he had with his first wife had refused to come back to see him even the day he died. The children couldn't forgive him for divorcing the mother.

The fifth person was my kindy teacher's dad. Sound very far, huh? He lives down the same street as I am and had asked for my prayer before he passed away for he had brain cancer. His wife doesn't like visitors and I felt so bad that I didn't pay my last respect to him.

The sixth person was a friend from my Bible study group then who died at the age of 26 due to a disease she suffered since young known as SLE. She was in the ICU for about five days before she went back to be with God.

Next, my grandmother whom I had not seen for about 10 years or more passed away four days after I visited her at the hospital. I was so angry with myself that I had placed my ex-boyfriend (whom was my boyfriend then) first. She was hospitalised in another state in Malaysia that I couldn't go and see her just like that.

Few months later, one of the boy at the orphanage home where I had helped out for the past four years passed away at the age of 14 because he was drown in the sea. I missed you, Calan!!!

I've been asking why all these happened especially for Calan's case. There was nothing wrong with him but I blamed myself for not spending enough time. I couldn't forget him entirely and he's death anniversary is just around the corner. Also, because I've put my ex-boyfriend (my boyfriend then) as my main priority that I couldn't go to the home so often to see them...

Why do all these things happen to me? I have no idea...and the same goes to Job, why does Satan destroy everything from him within a day?
