Walking with God through pain and suffering made the following statement, ‘
suffering is everywhere, unavoidable and its scope often overwhelms’. This statement is an evident truth that we all know and have experienced.
Even as I write this article, the global outbreak of the Covid-19 Virus continues to spread and continues to take lives. Even as such suffering and hurt are pervasive and universal, thoughts like, “where is God in the midst of this”, or “if God is so good, why would He allow things like this to exist”, begin to occupy our minds.
The presence of suffering and evil along with the existence of a good and loving God seem to collide.
