My Pastor said it last Sunday... "never say, everything happens for a reason." I totally agree with him. When a human says, "everything happens for a reason," they think that they are honoring God but actually they are doing the opposite.
They are insulting God and making him the cause of childhood cancer, murder and rape. My wife worked for three years in the Neuro-Blastoma ward at Children's Mercy Hospital in Kansas City. During that time, scores of children came through with that disease. Every one of them died. Did God do that?
When humans say that everything happens for a reason, we are also minimizing God, boiling him/her/it down to something that can be controlled and understood by the human mind.
Life is a mystery. Pat little answers are not helpful. Sometimes things happen. Sometimes bad things happen. That does not mean that God is the cause of these things. He does not bring us evil, he stands with us in our pain.
There is often something that we can learn from difficulty, but please do not blame God for every thing that happens. He stands with us each day that we are alive on this earth.
It's a beautiful day in God's world, be sure to be the good.
