God doesn't make us suffer. There is good and evil in the world. And though God is all powerful, He does not always choose to overcome evil in every situation because He gave us our own free will to choose.

#Joy even in the midst of #struggle. Paul wrote to the Philippians saying, "For to me, living means living for Christ, and dying is even better."
