Question for the Christians posting.

I mean no disrespect as I was raised Catholic myself but I've started questioning a lot. I have a question that no one's ever been able to answer. If everything that happens is God's will, then why do innocent children die of cancer every day, why are they born with horrific birth defects, why would God want a child to suffer in this way? From a mom who's lived it first hand.

Maybe those inflicted go straight to heaven and now live in eternity pain free and are happy for eternity. Maybe they are the first in line to be rewarded.

If human beings paid more attention to where they will live in eternity, rather than to this short period of time on earth, I think we would all be better off. I think the people you speak of may be God's special children and for all the suffering they do here on earth, this suffering gives them a first class ticket in heaven. Just a thought on what a just God's plan might be all about.
