God Weeps at the Death of Children in War

 God weeps when children die from war. God weeps when innocents are targeted and killed. God weeps when believers cannot live in peace and try to destroy all that is good. God weeps because humankind cannot stay at peace. It's so sad. So many lives lost, lost in fear and violence. So many destructive weapons of war. So much hate and evil. Instead of building peace, understanding and peaceful co-existence, enemies train for war, train to carry out evil deeds and acts. Believers who don't understand God's desire that we all live in peace and build each other up, instead of trying to destroy what is innocent and good. Evil doesn't build up- it tears down, it destroys and it leaves dying children, who did nothing to deserve all this ugliness, pain and suffering. And in the land that is called holy, and believed to be holy ground by Christians, Jewish people and Muslims, there is tension and a lack of peace and so I believe that God weeps.....
