Why do bad things happen to good people? That has always been a question that I’ve wondered about – and I’m sure many of you have as well. This year, I know several people, including me, who have experienced devastating suffering. There is a tendency to ask questions like, “Why didn’t God help?” and “How could He let this happen?”
We will never understand why these things happen when we are in this world. So, what is the answer? I believe the answer is Jesus. I know that I personally have felt him walking beside me in my suffering. I honestly don’t know how people get through some of the painful things in life without faith and hope.
Matthew 5:4 says, “Blessed are those who mourn, for they shall be comforted.” This verse is reassurance that God won’t abandon us during even our most difficult valleys.
