“God never sends suffering. Never. It is never "God's will"
that we should suffer. God would like us not to suffer. But since the world
brings suffering, and since God refuses to use His almighty power and treat us
as foolish children, He aligns Himself with us, goes into Auschwitz with us, is
devastated by 9/11 with us, and draws us with Him through it all into
fulfillment. This is a high price to pay for our human freedom, but it is worth
it. To be mere automatons for whom God arranges the world to cause us no
suffering would mean we never have a self. We could not make choices.”―
