“Everyone is down on pain, because they forget something important about it: Pain is for the living. Only the dead don't feel it.”
God isn't about making good things happen to you, or bad things happen to you. He's all about you making choices--exercising the gift of free will. God wants you to have good things and a good life, but He won't gift wrap them for you. You have to choose the actions that lead you to that life.
