Why Do Bad Things happen To Good People?

Great post from Eric over at 3DM Coaching's blog.

Why do bad things happen to good people?

This is a brilliant question, but comes with an answer that is often times very difficult to swallow. God created you and me for two expressed purposes: 1) to enjoy a relationship with God and his family where everything that is God’s is ours and vice-versa, and, 2) to represent God’s ways in all the earth (Genesis 1:28-29). God gave humanity to responsibility and authority to rule the earth and we gave that authority and responsibility to someone else, the devil, and guess what? The devil is bad. He does bad things. He hates humanity because God loves humanity and the devil does everything to spite God. So imagine taking the worst inmate in the highest security prison and making them president of the United States. The devil loves death, sickness, disease, famine, poverty, divorce, hatred, bitterness and everything else that corrupts life. And we gave him the keys to the world. read the full post
