“Isn’t God supposed to be good? Isn’t God supposed to love us? And...” – C.S Lewis (Jack), Shadowlands ... Movie Quotes Database

Isn’t God supposed to be good? Isn’t God supposed to love us? And does God want us to suffer? What if the answer to that question is yes? ’Cause I’m not sure that God particularly wants us to be happy. I think he wants us to be able to love and be loved. He wants us to grow up. I suggest to you that it is because God loves us that he makes us the gift of suffering.
