There is no way to become more compassionate without going through hardship. There is no way to learn love without experiencing hatred. There can be no healing without injury. Our Universe is one of balance. As humans, our work is to become more like our God, whatever name you give Him. In doing so, we create a more compassionate world.

God is just being God. He can provide love, comfort, and peace. But He cannot prevent suffering in this world. If He could, He would.

The topic of Satan is not popular in our secular society, but the truth is, he is alive and well. He loves to throw things like ebola at us which harm us in body and more importantly in soul.

Why do you even exist? Why do you have more rights to exist than ebola? Perhaps your very existence has caused someone somewhere more trouble than ebola ever could. So why do you get a pass?That should be an interesting question too.......

This topic is rather interesting. Sometimes my son used to ask this very question when he was young. Why does God allow bad things to happen.

I remember a woman who had a great life, and then in her early 50's, suddenly developed a very disfiguring skin disorder. She said for a long time she kept asking God, "Why me, God? Why me?" One day she thought, "Well, why NOT me?" It finally occurred to her that to expect all good things should come her way in life was incredibly selfish and arrogant. She realized that God must have a plan and it was important she trust in that plan.

That's a simpleton story, bro.

Yet with a gruesome twist: Why shouldn't I get Ebola? Why NOT me?
