“If God is so good and so powerful, how come he allows all this suffering? Why didn’t he just make us so we can be healthy and happy all the time?” The teacher seemed to have been waiting for that one, and I’ve never forgotten his answer. “If God had created us that way,” he said, “we’d be nothing more than puppets. He’d be pulling the strings, and we’d have absolutely no power of our own. It’s true, we wouldn’t have to experience pain and hardship. But without them, we’d also never know the real triumphs and joys of life. There’d be no reason to find a meaning or a purpose for ourselves. We’d be nothing more than mindless, programmed robots.

He gave us the power to choose our own way.”
