WHY does God allow us to go through pain??
You may have heard this before and then again, maybe you haven't.
I for one believe this is one of the BEST explanations/ answers to the question....
WHY does God allow us to go through pain?
A man went to a barbershop to have his hair cut and his beard trimmed.
As the barber began to work, they began to have a good conversation.
They talked about so many things and various subjects.
When they eventually touched on the subject of God, the barber said:
"I don't believe that God exists."
"Why do you say that?" asked the customer.
"Well, you just have to go out in the street to realize that God doesn't exist.
Tell me, if God exists, would there be so many sick people?
Would there be abandoned children?
If God existed, there would be neither suffering nor pain.
I can't imagine a loving God who would allow all of these things."
The customer thought for a moment, but didn't respond because he didn't want to start an argument.
The barber finished his job and the customer left the shop
Just after he left the barbershop, he saw a man in the street with long, stringy, dirty hair and an untrimmed beard.
He looked dirty and unkept. The customer turned back and entered the barber shop again and he said to the barber:
"You know what? Barbers do not exist."
"How can you say that?" asked the surprised barber.
"I am here, and I am a barber. And I just worked on you!"
"No!" the customer exclaimed. "Barbers don't exist because
if they did, there would be no people with dirty long hair and untrimmed beards, like that man outside."
"Ah, but barbers DO exist! That's what happens when people do not come to me."
"Exactly!" affirmed the customer. "That's the point! God, too, DOES exist!
That's what happens when people do not go to Him and don't look to Him for help.
That's why there's so much pain and suffering in the world."
BE BLESSED & BE A BLESSING TO OTHERS !!!!!!! Let them know there IS a true and living God!

Thank you sis for the invite. I have been very busy with ministry Praise God. Before I respond to the original post I do want to quickly address something. I agree with the sister that said that there is nothing wrong with copying and pasting. BUT, to act like you wrote it that is wrong. especially when you were not humble enough to say yes i got it from another site.
Eric Hancock your response to all of the kudos looks as if you were being nominated for and received the servant heart award. Your response was more like an acceptance speech.

I truly thank you all,,But let the Heavens rejoice First,,,I like all of your response,,you all made valudated points.. Minister Jackson I enjoy your ministry because you heard from Heaven on high and started Praying,,and thats my point I too endure suffering and therefore I know what I am talking about,,FIRST HAND EXPERTISE,,I know when you have everything your that MAN but when trails come and you lose it all so does the people,,BUT GOD,,,I have more than I lost and my latter is greater than my former..many people would have lost there minds if they been through a fraction of what some on this web page been through,,BUT GOD Grace and Mercy over powered what the enemy or what we put ourself in... Minister Jackson you have the ELIHU spirit who was the youngest of Job friends and started to encourage and PRAY for JOB while the others gave there Opinion on why Job was suffering,,,God's Reasons OVERPOWER man's opinion.and that was my point I kept trying to make ,,ONLY GOD knows why he allow things to happen,,I leave you with this what dont kill you will make you stronger,the oil wont leave the olive til the olive has been CRUSHED,,and before we too go to the next level BROKENESS has been Ordained in our journey..Be blessed
You need to humble yourself man of God. Even your apology was a copy and paste. What is wrong with the Body of christ. Even if you don't like a person Do you dislike them more then you love the word of God. Sad to say that what many are standing on is not even Godly council. Just because the man you are speaking against is not a christian does not make it okay.

1 Samuel 13:13-14 NIV) [13] "You acted foolishly," Samuel said. "You have not kept the command the LORD your God gave you; if you had, he would have established your kingdom over Israel for all time. [14] But now your kingdom will not endure; the LORD has sought out a man after his own heart and appointed him leader of his people, because you have not kept the LORD'S command."
LIKE DAVID MOREH'S LITTLE "KINGDOM DID NOT ENDURE"!
“So David and Abishai went to the army by night, and there was Saul, lying asleep inside the camp….Abishai said to David, ‘Today God has delivered your enemy into your hands. Now let me pin him to the ground with one thrust of my spear; I won’t strike him twice.’ But David said to Abishai, ‘Don’t destroy him! Who can lay a hand on the Lord’s anointed and be guiltless? As surely as the Lord lives,’ he said, ‘the Lord himself will strike him; either his time will come and he will die, or he will go into battle and perish. But the Lord forbid that I should lay a hand on the Lord’s anointed…”
UNLIKE DAVID MOREH DECIDED TO ATTACK GOD'S ANOINTED!
Now the truth about this brother is coming to light!
