Finding God in the Wake of Crime


Crime leaves many victims in its wake. Surely the victimized and their loved ones suffer. The pain and anguish of many victims border on the unbearable. And in a different way, those of us who are witnesses to crime suffer, also. We want to feel safe. We want to believe that we will not fall prey to the harm that has engulfed the others. Crime leaves everyone with hard questions - questions that can shake our very confidence in God. But when Christians are willing to put aside their vulnerability and help victims address their needs - including spiritual needs - then both can find the anchors of faith holding firmly. It is only as we come to understand the heart of God that we are able to cope - victims and helpers alike.
