If God loves us
Then why do bad things happen to his followers?
Here are some of the questions
Why did God allow me to be an orphan?
Why did God allow this injury to turn me into a monster
on the inside and out?
Why does God allow these temptations to haunt me?
Why does he allow my family to hate me?
Why do I have this disability?
Why did you allow my father to abuse me?
Here's why
Because he knew he could trust you with this hardship
He knew that you couldn't get through the pain alone
He knew that you had what it takes
He knew that he would be there to guide you through
He knew the limit to what your heart could take
He knew you are a fighter
He knew that with his power
He will shine the light through the darkness
He allowed this trial to come to you
Because he knew he could trust you with it
He knew you could do it
Those are only a few questions
I'm sure there are a lot more
John 14:27-28
27 Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid. You heard me say I am going away and I am coming back to you. If you loved me you would be glad that I am going to the Father, for the Father is greater than I
