One day, however, they encountered a group of men who had sworn allegiance to ISIS. The fairy tale quickly came to a tragic end. Lauren and Jay are gone forever. It's all extremely sad.
Nonetheless, Lauren and Jay were not mistaken. People are good. Every one of us, every last one of us, is made in the image of a good God. We are all unique and special and loved by God. But sin has fractured God's image in us; sin has cracked the mirror. And horribly bad things happen.
I don't despair, however: as the Dutch missionary Corrie ten Boom, arrested and sent to Auschwitz for sheltering Jews during the Holocaust, once said, "There is no pit that God's love is not deeper still."
Nothing can conquer a creator's love.
