if God is Good, why is there suffering?

God loves his people and people suffers because we are the ones who made all this happen to us. we all have our free will and we have the choise to be miserable and suffer, or acknowledge his presence and be at peace.

Dats a good question. But dear,only if you have sufferings you think of god. If god would have given everything,we would have never remebered him.So whenever we suffer,the first person that come to mind is god.

This doesn't mean that God is not good if there are sufferings. These sufferings are for the test of our belief,inspiration and patience.We should face them and share them with eachother.

I feel that if you are closer to God then you will have more sufferring as God is purifying you to become a better huuman beings, if you take life easy and dont obey the word of God you will not have so much trouble but the end wil be horrible, Satan attacks the lives of people who believe in God and do his will so they get more suffering than others, God sometimes allws us to go through suffering to make some good come out of it, either he is refinning our charachter or any other reason to make us better individuals.

Maybe because he wanted us to acknowledge him. I think if there is no pain and suffering in the world we can easily forgot that God is there. I admit that sometime when im down and trouble that's the only time i remember to call God, but in times of success and happiness i forgot about him and even forgot to thank him.

Who ever did say that God is Good? I am not telling however that God is not Good. We were taught that God is Our Powerful and Loving Father. Those who will do good will see Him face to face in His Kingdom when time comes. It is us who presume God to be good, and It is fair enough to think so. God might be Good, because He expects us to be good. And suffering might be a tool for Him to let us realize that in times of hopelessness, God is our refuge, a Father who can be counted on.
