WHERE IS GOD IN SUFFERING?

Hi Miriam,

I have a question for you.

How do you watch Christians suffering with tremendous diseases and still see God is good?

I'm curious to your response!

Blessings,
L.V.

Dear L.V,

I watched a little boy die of cancer, after fighting a bitter medical battle for four years. He died at eight years of age. He was the only son of his parents and the apple of their eye.

When God called him to heaven, I learnt that we cannot question God. He has the royal prerogative to call anyone home when He wishes to do so. He gave us life in the first place. He decides how each person is to die and when. Nothing happens without His express knowledge and will. We have no right to question God when bad things happen to people.

Romans 8:26 promises that ALL THINGS WORK TOGETHER FOR GOOD IN THE LIVES OF THOSE WHO LOVE GOD, WHO ARE CALLED ACCORDING TO HIS PURPOSE.

God can bring amazing good out of our distressing circumstances. We must trust God wholeheartedly in all circumstances. This is the very first lesson a Christian has to learn. We must surrender our loved ones to God. He loves them even more than we do, and He holds them in His loving arms.

Love and blessings,
Miriam.
