IS LIFE FAIR? Why do bad things happen to good people? How often have we returned from work after a marvelous day, The affluent and ungodly seem to thrive in life, There isn’t an easy answer for why the Godly suffer loss, But more upsetting than this are the attacks from within, God, why do You allow this paradox to exist? The enemy won’t rest until the day that he is chained, There is a DAY coming when we’ll finally be freed, While the enemy is running to and fro' spreading venomous leaven, Stay strong brethren, stay in the WORD, and don't forget for even one minute that God is in charge of EVERYTHING -- even the 2020 U.S. election. We don't always know why things happen the way they do, but we always know WHO allows things to happen to complete HIS perfect destiny for us! God bless you all! Humbly Well said, you acquainted with grief! TR HH, very well said! It truly is a daily paradox and we can clearly see the line in the sand being drawn between good and evil. The evil is openingly blatant. .. but our reward is in heaven and from it we await a Savior, Jesus Christ, our Lord..... the time of evil is shorter still, our joy and peace is eternally long! The lamp of the wicked will be put out! :yahoo: :prayer-hands: You have a way with words, Humbly. There is a radio program on where I live that says, "Why do bad things happen to good people? " They answer that by saying the more important question is "Why do good things happen to bad people? " The good thing is that while we are all bad, and yet sinners, Jesus died for us. When I ponder on that amazing act of love and mercy, I am at peace. :thankyou And whwhy do evil men prosper and have long lives?! TR 
Why does the roof collapse while we pray inside the steeple?
Why is it that the suffering of the unsaved seems rare,
While Christians are attacked during the middle of prayer?
Only to find our domestic life in complete disarray?
Or left our wonderful havens of familial shelter,
To proceed directly into the occupational swelter?
Indifferent to our struggles and daily strife.
They appear to stockpile more than their reasonable share,
While not losing any sleep because they JUST DON'T CARE!
But there is no doubt it increases once you pick up that Cross!
The more committed you become the bigger threat you’ll be,
Your prayers are menacing hindrances to an infernal strategy.
From brothers and sisters who act as if they never sin.
They even go so far as to question our Christian walk,
Chastising our “lack of faith” with their blustering talk.
Why are the invectives from our own brethren allowed to persist?
How is it that those who avow to follow You in Name,
Throw the largest stones and hurl the most blame?
Continuing to inflict damage until he is finally restrained.
As for those casting stones from the balconies of their glass houses,
They should be ashamed of themselves for being such louses!!
From this world of suffering, hunger, and greed.
Those who are watching KNOW that our Savior is near,
So disregard the false-piety and negative comments you hear!
We who “are pure in heart” shall soon see Heaven;
Those with wicked tongues shall be consumed in their pride,
While we who are persecuted shall be eternally at God’s side!!
These are definitely difficult times and so many believers are suffering greatly. 🙁
