Noxlumos - Yours is an excellent question. I shall try, by the grace of God, to answer it.
Children suffer in their millions: Starvation, disease, cruelty, neglect, exploitation. These are terrible and sometimes inexplicable facts.
God gave us free will, and so many of us use it for self gratification, at the expense of others.
The blame for the millions of kids dying of disease and hunger in the world, lies with us, with mankind, as this earth is quite capable of feeding its population. We don't feed them for reasons directly traceable to mans selfish nature. It's the same with lack of medicines and education. How many suffer in countries run by power mad dictators?
But, a little child, alone, vulnerable to abuse and maybe bereaved, cries out for comfort. None comes. This is the sin of the adults who are supposed to look after the child. The sin is theirs. The responsibility is theirs, not Gods.
God sees a bigger picture than us. We are trapped in time, God is eternal. To Him, the past, present and future are before Him NOW, something we cannot even imagine.
In Gods bigger picture, it's all O.K. The tears have been long ago wiped away, there is only joy in heaven, for that hurting little child.
You are still hurting. I can tell that you are still bitter, yes, towards God, whom you say cannot exist because, you were allowed to suffer.
Here is the miracle. You can let go of your anger and your bitterness, and know that a loving God awaits you, wanting only the very best for you, in the bigger picture that He has before Him.
My wisdom is limited, but I am convinced so much that God is going to heal you, that before I go to sleep tonight, I shall pray that your heart be softened, that you will let go of your anger, and let the Lord Jesus Christ come into your life to heal you.
