Filed under: Why Suffering? 

Suffering is one of the most difficult things to make sense of in this life. God knew when he sent us to live on the earth that there would be great hardship. Some of it would result from the evil actions of others. Some of it, however, would simply be natural adversity common to all mankind, like natural disasters, accidents, and disease. If this life was all there is, God would indeed seem uncaring, even cruel. But this is not the case.
