Why God?
Why create
What would be evil?
Why create
Free will?
When known
The suffering
The agony
The despair
It would cause

Right now, I am feeling very conflicted about my faith.

This is the first time in a year, I am seriously confused about why there does have to be so much suffering.

Why God created us with free will, knowing there would be so much suffering?

I just cannot bear to see all the suffering in this world, so why God, why do you?

I know it is all human inflicted – due to deep sin, abuse, neglect, greed and all the other human sinful, evilness in this world and Satan.

But, I desperately – right now – want it to end.

It is truly horrendous what so many people endure.

I can’t handle the overwhelming sense of grieving and anger I feel at all the horror in this world people are suffering.

The Mercy Ship. The Surgery Ship.

I have just cried and sobbed through the program on the Mercy Ship – the ship that travels around providing free surgery for those in need, who have no medical treatment in their countries, like in Guinea.

I can completely see all the wonderful work they do – mostly Christians – incredible people all volunteering their time and skills to help some of the most poor people in the world.

They know they can only help a certain percentage and they have to turn away the ones they cannot help.

I watched a two year old, with a mouth tumour, who will suffocate to death, within the next 6 months and will die in agony. And they couldn’t help him. This beautiful little boy, and his loving dad, couldn’t be helped and I sobbed, as they told him the terrible news.
