I think it puzzles all of us and is truly a mystery that we cannot fully comprehend in our humanness. Thank you for sharing your thoughts. You articulated it well. The best book that I have ever read on the subject is: Trusting God Even When Life Hurts by Jerry Bridges. If you ever want to discuss the topic with me privately, it is a subject I also feel passionate about. Take care.Jennifer Dahlennoreply@blogger.com
