We tackle the challenging question of why a good God allows evil and suffering in the world, exploring the tension between divine goodness and human freedom.
• Free will is essential for genuine love to exist—God gives us the freedom to choose good or evil
• Sin is sin in God's eyes—we shouldn't measure some sins as worse than others while minimizing our own
• Hurt people hurt people—many who cause harm are themselves crying out for love they've never received
• Instead of just praying for protection FROM harmful people, we should pray FOR their transformation
• Our struggles with patience and forgiveness reflect our ongoing journey toward Christ-like love
• God's apparent "inaction" is actually divine patience—giving everyone time for redemption
• We're called to be lights in darkness, even when we struggle with our own imperfections
Remember, Elohim isn't surprised by the evil in this world—He's patient, giving everyone time to turn to Him. Continue to pray for those who hurt others, recognizing that we all need His grace equally.
