Why does death capture the young?


Why does death capture the young?  I have been at a loss of words lately on this matter.  I have been reading God's word and praying, still I have no good answers.  I have sought out answers others have given in hopes that I might understand.  Here is one that I read and it does make sense. "God does not Will "bad" things to happen in life. Rather, "bad" things happen in the freedom that comes with the gift of life. When "bad" things happen to any of God's children, God is grieved and suffers with us, experienced most vividly in the hurt and suffering of Jesus the Christ for all humanity. Any "bad" thing which happens is never the last word. Rather, God is the deepest and last word, and that word is love and eternal life with God."  I know this does not console a broken heart or the feelings of helplessness.  I do think that all things work together and for what reasons, I may never know.  I know my struggles have given me the opportunity to learn of God's love more deeply, of His caring hands and of His goodness.  All things which I have taken for granted during my life.  There is only one thing I know, it is that we live and we all will eventually die.  When and where and how, none of us know, but we can know that our hope is in God and that we can turn to Him to ask questions and seek comfort.  He has NEVER failed me and He will NEVER fail you.  Hugs and love to you.
