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.

To me everything that happens cannot be God’s Will. He gave us all free will, which means we can choose to follow Him and try to do His will or not follow Him. Where we don’t follow Him, we may or may not accidentally do His Will but most of our actions we will do without reference toHis Will.

Now there are some people who think everything is His Will or it is Gods plan for you or worse still it happened because of something you did. IMHO, those people are full of crap.

Bad things happen to Good People. Good things happen to Bad people.

The best we can do is to try to do God’s Will and accept He’ll make the best of whatever we do.
