Life is what happens to you while you are busy making other plans.

As for God, I don't think he really cares. And if he does, he should have made us less selfish and more capable of facing adversity. Now, if we do happen to believe in his divine plan, we must take this life as a test, our suffering a way to strengthen us and prepare us for life in the hereafter...

An imperfect world has to have an impact on everyone. Good or bad.

I agree! I do sometimes ask but it is also my way of communication with Him. I believe that he do not allow bad things happen to us. It may be bad for our point of view, but we need to reflect on why, what and how. What is the purpose why it happen and how to resolve or prevent it. Jumping onto conclusion will lead us into nothing and does will result on blaming or pointing fingers.Ghingir wrote: ↑31 May 2017, 19:27 I, too, have an issue with this. I have always wondered why God can't just stop really bad things happening to good people. Yes, we have free will and can cause bad things to happen to us by wrong actions and/or decisions, but that doesn't mean that God couldn't stop whatever bad things from happening in the end. He could teach us in a less threatening manner what it is we are to learn. I believe that is just an excuse by Christians to explain why God seems to not be there (sometimes). I have a feeling I'll be flamed for that last statement, but that is how I feel.
Death, on the other hand, even at a young age, I don't consider to be a bad thing if it happens to a good person. While the good person's friends and family will, of course, be hurt tremendously, it is a reward to the good person to be taken early to Heaven, and avoid whatever horrible tragedies may have befallen them in life. They will not need to suffer through what a lot of us already have, or will in the future. I believe that early exit through death is a gift from God to the truly good. So, if you're still here, you got some learning to do, Lucy! Including myself... My, I'll probably live forever, haha.
What are your thoughts? Thanks!
And as to death, it is not a bad thing. I rather see my father rest and not suffer for long. I've nursed him for 9 months and the feeling of not giving him ease? Makes my heart throb.
For me, its a matter of how you deal it in a very positive ways.
