I did alot of praying and soul searching on this incident and came to one conclusion. We have a loveless society. We are selfish and uncaring for others. Nicholas Cruz lost his mother from the flu back in November and the lack of compassion started then. Not a nurse or a doctor or a councilor intervene when his mother died. Had somebody stepped up this may not of happen. Now I know you would think I'm sticking up for Cruz but I'm not. He committed a vile deed and he must pay for it. We as Christian should know better to pray for victims and the suspect alike. This teen got mixed up with some undesirables while he was looking for comforting and he was already angered with his mother's death. So he got some bad advise and the outcome we see in the news. So now while we pray for the victims families, we must also pray for Cruz. We should pray that he finds God and receives forgiveness so he may forgive himself. We all need a second chance to redeem ourselves, after all we are sinners. If anybody gets cross about what I said here, all I have to say to you is..Are you above forgiveness? Are you built in with a cold heart? This reminds me of the good Samaritan from the bible, except in his case nobody came to his rescue. We need to work in other peoples lives by loving one another. We need GOD!
