Bad Things, Good People??

Today is exactly one month of my grandpa's death from cancer. It's still is a huge struggle getting use to that he's not there anymore but he'll always be in out hearts. The following question popped up into my mind several times, but especially alot today.

         "Why do bad things happen to good people?"

I never fully understand the answer (and i still don't), but it caught to me how we really should look at things in a whole different way. Jesus died for all of us because he knew we were all gonna be sinners, and that we needed someone to be our savior. According to the bible, there's no such thing as "good people" (expect for Jesus and God) so therefore bad things happen because of sin. Because we all have sinned against the Lord, we all should deserve to go to eternal hell, but because God loved us so much he sent his only son down to Earth so he could die for our sins so we can have eternal life up in heaven!! ( John 3:16). A better way to look at it is that bad things happen to people who don't deserve it because God allowed it happen for his special reasons. For an example, he allowed it to be my grandpa's time because he knew it was the right time to welcome him into his kingdom, and so he won't be in so much pain anymore. I personally would rather have myself be in pain while my grandpa is pain free up in Heaven than we both in pain but he's suffering way more. When struggles or bad things do happen to come in our way, just remember to trust God with all your heart because God has a plan and purpose for everything. He'll use those painful experiences sometime in your future to help him grow closer with him and bring you to eternal life!!

The better question to be asking yourself is "Why do good things happen to bad people?" like why does God let good things happen to people who don't believe in him is the main question.

Every new challenge (or terrible thing) that happens to me, instead of looking at it in a negative point of view, I'm gonna look at it in a positive way of becoming a better follower of the Lord Jesus Christ!!!
