[Another fundie has stated that they have become "desensitized" to all of the troubles in the world.]

I know I've been desensitized. I think it's what our mind does to protect itself so that we can keep on living. I won't even begin to go into the trash I witness in real life everyday and also what I see on the news and in the media. Always so many horrible things happening and it truly hurts my heart and just gives me this desperate feeling like if something doesn't get better I am literally going to lose my mind. And so instead of allowing that to happen our mind kind of just shuts off to it all.

It's happened in many countries that are war torn, where there is no safety. When a family going to bed everynight in their house, they know that they may be over run by some militia, have their houses burn, and be raped or killed, children kidnapped and forced to join that militias army. I've read so many true stories about it happening, especially in various countries in Africa, and my heart just goes out to them. From reading all the books I have though, I know that is how they are able to live through it, by completely desensitizing themselves from the situation, their life.

It's so sad. For so many years before I gave my life to Christ I was one of those who wondered how such a loving God could allow just so many horrendous things to happen and especially to the innocent children. Now I know that it is not God, but Satan who is the perpetrator. God does allow it to happen. But I know that I completely trust Him with my life and the lives of all my loved ones. And so if something were to happen, God has a reason for allowing it to. I can't understand what the reasons would be, but He does. And I know that when I get to Heaven I will understand everything.

And so for right now, I just pray for Him to come and get us very, very soon.
