I can\u2019t help but think why does God keep allowing his
\nfollowers to suffer? We go to Revelations 21:4<\/a><\/b> and the promise is in the
\nfuture, but why not now?<\/p>\n

He will wipe every tear from their
\neyes.\u00a0There will be no more death\u2019\u00a0or mourning or crying or pain,\u00a0for
\nthe old order of things has passed away.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

We have seen many amazing things with God including the dead
\nbeing raised. Heck I even look at my recovery and it\u2019s nothing more than miraculous,
\nbut why am I the anomaly and not the norm? The question still is posed, if God
\nis so loving and powerful why does He allow \u201cHis children\u201d to suffer?<\/p>\n

After reading and talking with others I have still not
\nreally answered the root question. I know we can dig up many verses that imply
\nthat\u2019s life and it \u201cbuild character\u201d, but some of the suffering seems
\nsenseless. My two friends, the one whose son was paralyzed and the other who
\nwas tortured from birth, yet after being freed they cannot keep healthy.<\/p>\n

I still don\u2019t get it, but will continue to explore until I
\ndo. This idea of paradise being \u201cno death or mourning or crying or pain\u201d does
\nnot add up either. Does this mean I will be able to rail on the motorcycle
\nwithout fear of the consequences of crashing? Or will we just be playing harps
\nand worshiping God? Honestly, I wonder how most people would \u201cdig\u201d that
\nafterlife since I know I would get bored.<\/p>\n

I honestly think it will be the best of earth, but better. <\/p>\n

But why not a little relief now? God can do all this I know
\nit just seems contradictory why it is not done in most cases. Does He pick and
\nchoose or are people like me just part of the lottery winners in life whose
\nlife changed. I am beginning to wonder how to answer this question not to
\nfellow Christians, since the Biblical answers make sense, but rather to someone
\nwith no belief in place. <\/p>\n

While the Biblical answer can make sense to someone who
\nknows God, it doesn\u2019t make sense to those who are clueless to God\u2019s glory. It\u2019s
\nalso difficult to explain to those who believe and know, but are in the middle
\nof a huge mess. Clich\u00e9s from the Bible only make them bitter.<\/p>\n

What do you think? Please give me help in understanding.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
