We live in an imperfect world, and many things are simply beyond our control. You might be going through a painful illness. People get mugged on the streets. Our loved ones may die unexpectedly. Families lose everything in an earthquake.
Countless children die in wars.
Our suffering might make us question God's love and power. But through it all, God suffers with us each time we are hurt. More than that, he has dealt with the root cause of suffering itself. On the one hand, we're innocent victims of physical evil. For example, when you get really sick, you suffer, but it's nobody's fault.
