3 Fat Chicks on a Diet Weight Loss Community - Prayer Warriors-All Faiths-2013 part 3

Hi Dee,
I am so sorry and I will put you on my prayer list. I was asking Jesus a few months ago why some people have so much heartache in their lives and He gave me the following explanation, I hope that it helps.

The Purpose of Life
God created us in His image but the question that has been asked all through the ages is, why. Why did God create us? Why did He create us and then permit us through so much pain and suffering here on earth? Doesn’t He care? He seems as if He even forsook Jesus when He was suffering so terribly on the cross. He could just lift us right out of our problems and make them go away but instead He allows a young cancer patient to go through terrible pain and suffering only to let them die in the end. He allows horrible acts of cruelty to innocents. It seems that He allows a child to be born with a propensity toward the same sex and yet He calls those very real feelings sin. Why? Why doesn’t he just show Himself to the world and say this is the way? Why do we have to accept Him by faith?
Why does Jesus answer my prayer to find my keys every morning and yet the thing I have been praying for 26 years… begging, pleading, crying for, He ignores.
Through all my begging and pleading and sometimes full on tantrums I have learned a few things.
I have learned that the definition of God is Love…that’s it. That is how you define Him. I believe He created us because He desired a companion. If God created Adam in His image and then he said it wasn't good for Adam to be alone. God is the same... He doesn't want to be alone. On the other hand, where does One who is omnipotent and can breathe life in to universes find a suitable companion/Bride?
We all love toddlers. They are just so cute! They are so innocent and trusting. However, you wouldn’t say that a toddler is a companion. You can’t have an interesting conversation with a toddler. It’s the sharing of life’s experiences that make conversation interesting and a toddler is just too innocent. You could be in a room full of toddlers who adored you and trusted you completely to supply all of their needs and still feel lonely. A person who never suffered any of life’s sorrow or pain would be a very shallow companion for almighty God. Nevertheless, it would be extremely difficult to develop the Bride’s character. How could you allow the kinds of things to happen to the Bride that needed to happen for them to become a suitable companion for the great I AM? It would just be too much for one being to endure.
Loving you with such a pure love and then watching you suffer is extremely difficult. God says, in the Bible, that all creation Groans and suffers until the time the Bride is finished being created. It makes Him so sad that even the rocks and trees cry in torment. . The Bible says that a thousand years on earth is like but a moment to God.
I am sure He can only bear it for a moment
God created each one of us to fulfill a yearning that He has in His heart. Of all of the millions and millions of people God created, “You” are the only “You.” There never has been and never will be another “You.” That is why you’re so valuable to God. Every big or little thing you have ever suffered and will suffer is developing character traits that God yearns for in His Bride. We have to suffer in our generation so that we can each be a companion to the almighty I AM, but this is such a short time in the fastness of eternity. In all eternity the 80 or so years you live on this earth is the only time in all eternity that you will EVER have to suffer.
