Who could deny that some pretty bad stuff happens in the world every day. It is sobering to realize that God allows it. The bottom line? God does not force people to love Him or do as He asks, and when we don’t, well, this is one reason bad stuff happens. We should not think this a punishment, only a natural consequence of a bad choice.
“When times are good, be happy; but when times are bad, consider this: God has made the one as well as the other.” Ecc.7 9/1/2022 Conversations Within
