As a father, I sometimes wish I could completely protect my daughters from harm, but locking them away wouldn’t be real love. Love means allowing freedom, even if it leads to pain. God is perfect and allows free will, which can result in hurtful consequences. I believe God does not enjoy our suffering but is here with us during tough times. He uses these moments for us to heal and grow, wanting to shape our character to be more like Him and less self-centered.
So why does God allow hurt? When we face difficulties, it’s easy to feel abandoned, but God is indeed with us. While He allows us to make choices, He can transform our struggles for our good. Ultimately, it’s about our renewal in a new kingdom with God, where we learn and grow from our experiences.
