Yes sir, kids with cancer (for example) is something that I really struggle with, and I can understand (the best I can) why one would feel about the above as you do.

For me, I believe that God has complete control over His world. His ways are not my ways...and it would be folly for me to even imagine such a thing. Although I ‘want’ to know why...I don’t ‘have’ to know why good people and children suffer in agony and/or die in pain. He knows.

And I don’t want to be apart from Him just because I can’t grasp all of this.

You hit right on a subject that resonated with me with your OP, and with your subsequent posts as well. And again, I can understand (the best I can) why one (you, and many others) would feel about it as you do.


Every day on this side of the ground is a win.
