parents bring their children to the health center to have vaccination or immunization even though it makes the baby cry they still do it because it can protect their children when they grow up..just like God he gave us trial and suffering not to put us down but to give us lessons to learn...He knows that if we pass that trials it can give us strength and courage to face new challenges in life...just endure to the end n doing or following Gods commandments..the promise blessing is Eternal Life,...

We are here on earth to test our faith and how much we love love Him and for us to learn of what choices we do..God allows suffering to made us strong.,all the trials that we've encountered are plans of God,,when we pass through that trials it can give us strength and courage.,

Maybe because He wants us to learn - learn from our mistakes which we do over and over again. Just like a parent who punishes his/her child for a wrong the child has done. The parent imposes suffering on the child so that the latter will not do the same mistake again. But as human beings, no matter how many times we ask for His forgiveness, we still can't help but commit the same mistakes again. I believe that every time challenges block our way - calamities, catastrophes, personal problems, etc. - He wants to tell us something. And that message is aimed at teaching us to get rid of our sick ways and to follow His will. But then again, oftentimes we can't comprehend right away everything that is happening. So it's really important that we spend moments with Him through praying. And I think it's about time to go back to Him.

Suffering is a tool of spiritual growth and discipline. A person will not grow spiritually if he has not gone through so much suffering. Jesus himself confirmed the road through suffering that Christians must walk on to follow him. Justice is God's not ours. It is important for us to do something to help maintain an atmosphere of objective justice among us. But we cannot bring justice. Ultimate justice comes when Jesus comes back. It also comes to us when we die. So don't expect justice in this world; the prince of this world is never a person of justice. Otherwise you will be gravely disappointed and loss heart.
