The desire to avoid loss is universal. Yet, likely all of us either have, or know someone who has experienced devastating loss by fire, storm or accident. We are especially conscious of those whose possessions were quickly turned to rubbish by the flood. Why does God allow it?

Here’s a short poem that puts loss into perspective: “To lose one’s wealth is sad indeed / To lose one’s health is more; / To lose one’s soul is such a loss as no one can restore!”
