Why?

Here’s My Question: Why is God allowing this to happen to me?
Has this question ever passed your mind? It’s passed mine. I’ve often wondered why God “allowed” bad things to happen to such nice people. Hopefully the quote bellow will explain it better than I can.

My daughter “could fall down and hurt herself, even if I'm walking right there beside her. That doesn't mean that I allowed it to happen. She knows, as far as unconditional love, I'll pick her up and I'll carry her. I'll try to heal her. I'll cry when she cries. And I'll rejoice when she is well. In all the moments of my life, God has been right there beside me. The truth of God's love is not that he allows bad things to happen. It's His promise that he'll be there with us when they do.” –Clark Davis, Love Comes Softly

“But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.” –Romans 5:8
