Heaven was weeping on that awful day last year.
God's heart was broken by the behaviour of all who allowed things to be done, which put people in danger. There was not one group responsible but many different things came together on that firelit night to kill 71 or 72 people, none of whom did anything wrong to be in that position.
The suffering of families and friends of all those people cannot be measured in any compassionate
way, because any explanation would not be able to fully account for all the reason's that the fire happened. It would not account for the lack of safety or the absolute danger in which residents were placed due to ignorance and lack of care.
Using cheaper materials that should never have been on the walls of that tower in the first place.
A family who lost a baby who was healthy in the womb, but because of that night, died.
There were people shouting about the issues but fools who should have known better, refused to listen, refused to admit there was anything they did to cause the possibility of anything untoward to happen. While they did not start the fire, the choices they made previously caused it to burn harder and longer fuelled by flammable materials.
The lives of many people was taken on that night and families lost loved ones who had no chance of escape, in the middle of a toxic inferno.
The suffering of all was felt by any decent human being up and down the country, and the theology of suffering is not that God did or even that he allowed it. There is a theology of suffering that says that God cares for his children - ALL HIS CHILDREN.
BOTH THOSE WHO SUFFER BECAUSE OF WHAT HAPPENED AND THOSE WHO MADE DECISIONS BASED ON WRONG ASSUMPTIONS OR BECAUSE OF MONEY ISSUES LIKE GREED OR LACK OF CARE. THE MOST POMPOUS ATTITUDES ARE OFTEN DAMAGING TO THOSE NOT PROTECTED BY RULES.
