Nazi Germany invaded Belgium on May 10m 1940, triggering an exodus of civilians. Our family fled to southern France. Along the way, we found ourselves caught in fierce battles between the German forces an the French forces.
When we returned our farm, we discovered that it had been looted of most of our belongings. Only our dog Bobbie, was there to welcome us. Such experiences led me to wonder, why do war and misery exist?
Around that time, we benefited greatly from the visits of Brother Emile Schrantz, a faithful pioneer elder. He clearly explained from the Bible why suffering exists and answered my other questions about life. I developed a deeper relationship with Jehovah and became convinced that he is a God of love.
