One Day...Why Does God let bad things Happen?

Why does God let bad things happen…

ONE DAY

I don't know why the world is the way it is today.

I wouldn't understand it anyway.

I don't know how God works.

But one day I will.

One day we all will.

I have my own theory on it but I better just keep it to myself and chalk it up to just another thought that came into my head and passed, like a plane that flew over with an aerial banner and now is out of sight.

 I know that God's greatness really does outweigh all the evil that happens in the world today but sometimes it's just very hard to stay focused on that. Since I've been born again and been following Jesus I have had several people, (including my own brother whose christian wife died) approach me and ask ; "Why does God let bad things happen to good people" ? WOW

The Bible makes it clear that there are no good people because we are all tainted and infected with sin. If I may use myself as an example ; I drank and sinned for many years and was traveling on a road that was leading to self destruction and I almost reached my destination when God stepped in and saved me.

 I've never given God the time of day and I've never prayed to Him and asked for His help for anything. So today, the big question that has been going through my mind is this, (which is the opposite of what my brother asked) ; "Why does God let GOOD things happen to BAD people" ?

 I don't understand this either!!! I didn't ask for his help and I didn't deserve His mercy , just like a good person doesn't deserve sorrow. What He did in my life changed me forever and led me in a different path than where mine was heading , so there was a reason for what He did what He did. 

So, bad happening to good or good happening to bad, there is a purpose for everything that God lets happen even though it may be way beyond our comprehension. 

Is it fair ?

 Doesn't seem like it today , but maybe one day it will, if we don't give up on God.
