Why God allows good people to suffer

The question is often asked: Why do good people often suffer, cancer, tribulation, serious problems? Dear friends, God is good and He is good to everybody. It is not His will that anybody perish and God knows how to deal with us. He wants us to share in His glory, to be part of His Kingdom and the only way that God can often speak to us is through suffering, through a terminal illness, through economic suffering. It is because God cares. Many serious followers of Jesus Christ also suffer because He teaches us through suffering. Even Jesus Christ Himself our Lord was perfected through suffering. We need to be cleansed and purified. God cares for everybody, everybody, even those who don’t believe. God cares for them and He often lays problems, stumbling blocks in their way, problems that are too big for them to handle so that they can look up and start calling out to Him. It is all because He cares. He is drawing us closer to Him. When things go well, we forget God, we don’t need God. It is better for us to suffer and to draw nearer to Jesus to learn the truth to repent of our wickedness to become holy and pleasing to Him than for us to carry on and have a good time and end up in hell. Dear friends, severe times are coming over this world. Economic collapse is coming and many people will suffer severe hardship. It is because God cares. This world has turned its back on God. Even professing Christians have turned their back on God. They are denying Him, but He has not turned His back on us. He cares for us and that is why all these things will happen. There will be famine, there will be economic collapse, there will be hardship and these times that are coming, people will call out to God and many will find Him. Many will find Jesus, many will be saved, many will curse God and die. Dear friend, what will you do? Will you respond to the call of a Loving Father? Will you obey Him and follow Jesus Christ? Will you repent of your sin and seek eternal salvation or will you keep on turning your back on Him? God cares for you friend, He loves you, He has not forsaken you. Bow your knees before Jesus, before it is too late. Do not reject Him. Open your heart to Him and invite Him in. Come clean, repent of your sin and seek Jesus and He will accept you. He loves you my friend and He cares for you. The sufferings that you are going through is because God cares for you. Maybe it is a loved one who is sick and it is hurting you. Maybe that is the only way God can get through to you, is by making your loved one suffer, but God cares for you. He is drawing us closer to Him. Will you respond to the call? Will you seek Jesus and live or will you reject Him and perish for all eternity? God cares my friend. Come to Jesus and live. May Jesus bless you.
