Why Do Bad Things Happen? And Why Are There Sufferings in This World?

 

This is a question I have pondered and asked myself from time to time and does not always have a satisfactory answer… until today.

But now I have a personal understanding of it and have it answered right deep in my heart. I want to remember this learning.

It’s because certain good thing can only happen when bad things happen.

It’s because love can only truly come through when bad things happen.

We may not fully understand why so many bad things and sufferings are happening in this world. But today I understood it and settled it. Thank you God for this glimpse into Your thought and for this understanding that was made personal.

God’s ways are not our ways. His ways are higher than our ways. His thoughts are higher than our thought. But it will always be for good, even if at the moment, we can’t see it.

Good things can come out of bad things. God has a purpose for it.

God in His wisdom allow bad things to happen.

So many blessings that come our way. O Lord I thank you.

My God, my God, my real and living God. You have a name. Your name is Jesus. Thank you for answering me ❤️
