Why does God let people suffer?

Why does God let people suffer?

The starving people in countries, the people with deadly diseases, etc. Why does He let them suffer? God created us with the ability to rule the earth.
He gave us free will, we are the ones that allow people to starve, we are the ones that have wars, and kill many, many people. We are the ones that screwed up this perfect world that God created in the Garden of Eden. It is our fault for sinning. God can't do all the work, and just suddenly click his fingers and suddenly all problems are gone. He has given us the tools, so we can fix it. God doesn't let people suffer, we let people suffer! What are you doing on your couch watching tv, and stuffing your face with food? You may be hoping that they will get better, but you aren't doing anything.

Although, that is not the only reason we suffer.

Suffering can motivate people to seek God, and as they draw closer to Him, they can understand Him better. Often people won't pay attention to God unless they're suffering and are aware of their need for Him. Turning to God can open the door to strength, courage and miracles.

When we make wrong choices, God allows us to live with the consequences of the choices we picked, which often means suffering. God is righteous, and loving to everyone. Like, a good parent, He disciplines those He loves to help them grow. God will forgive anyone who seeks His forgiveness, but He won't always take away pain that our wrong choices have caused.

And suffering also, puts faith into work, leading to deeper trust in God.

God bless.
