The mystery of suffering

The consequence of sin
of our sinful nature
of natural disasters
the curse on the land…
 
The mystery of suffering
beyond our comprehension,
nothing we can explain sometimes,
sometimes it just is…
 
God is good, all-powerful,
but pain entered creation,
free will, bad choices,
things we cannot know…
 
But they do not change,
God’s eternal nature,
for God is good, righteous,
even before there was creation…

God of the Bible: Allows suffering
St. Augustine quote, “If there is no God, why is there so much good?
If there is a God, why is there so much evil?”
Based on Psalm 22:1-2
“My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?”
