Why did Tabitha, the gracious gazelle, who did so many nice things, have to die? It must have seemed senseless and cruel to those around her. A woman who gave so much to the people around her shouldn't have to die early like that, should she?
But if she didn't, there wouldn't have been the opportunity for God to show himself powerful and faithful and raise her from the dead. Also, there wouldn't have been many who came to believe because of this miracle. I'm sure it seemed awful in the middle of the situation, but it must have looked wonderful in hindsight.
There's always a plan, no matter how crazy it looks. "And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose." (Rom 8:28) Not all things are good, but all things, good and bad, work together for good. That's very comforting to me.
