Someone recently asked me... Why do people always ask "Why?"? Hmmm... if we actually know "why" does it really change anything? Personally, I think it is our human nature to do so. I also think that the reason "why" in all or most situations is simply that these things happen for growth and development. All circumstances are preparing us for times to come... in heaven or on earth.
Our experiences give us the opportunity to relate to others in similar situations. Think about it. If a married couple has a spat and you aren't married, but offer advice... Uh... how do you think it will be received? You would have no idea what you are talking about. Would it not make more sense to confide in someone who KNOWS the intimacy of marriage? DUH!
Some words on suffering:
Romans 5:3-5
...but we rejoice in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance; perseverance, character; and character, hope. An hope does not disappoint us, because God has poured out his love into our hearts by the Holy Spirit, whom he has given us.
Romans 8:18
I consider that our present sufferings are not worth comparing with the glory that will be revealed in us.
Romans 8:28
And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose
