I hoped that this article would help someone. I have a daughter that will soon be undergoing surgery for a condition that she has faced since she was 9 months old. She is now 10 and has been fighting this condition for a long time. She has asked me many times "why did God let me be like this?". This article sums up so much as to the adversity we face in life. I hope that someone here will find it encouraging.
If God is a merciful God, if He can bestow grace upon an individual, then the atheist would ask why is it that He does not to those who truly need or deserve it? Why is it that God allows the most innocent to suffer and then die? Why does He not simply come down from His place on high and just set the record straight?
Well to answer the last question, He already has. Not everyone was listening. This takes us back to the previous questions and the very reason why we are separated from God in this physical world.
Of all the creations that God created there is only one that He created with a soul. What is a soul? It is the part of us that is immortal and will not die. It has the ability to receive and contain the Holy Spirit of God. As much as Lucifer himself sought to become like the most high even Lucifer does not have this ability. Man was God's greatest creation. Man was God's most perfect creation. We possess the ability to come closer to God than any other creation. Why did God make us this way? God did not want servants, rather He wanted a relationship.
