One of the most puzzling of all problems is the problem of human
suffering. Why must humanity suffer? Why must there be heartache and
disappointment? Why must there be disease and death? Even more
especially, why must the innocent suffer? Some of us have especially
wrestled with this problem. We have wondered how it is that God, who
loves us so much, should allow suffering to come into homes like ours.
Sometimes our questionings come at the death of a parent upon whom we
have depended through the years. Sometimes it is through a long and
severe illness that we come face to face with the problem of human
suffering. Sometimes it is in connection with a beloved child.
