I was having a talk with my dad about the question of evil, confusion, suffering and corruption in the world and in the Church.

While on the topic, I remember reading some things here and there where God even let the devil have permission to wreak havoc and evil upon humanity. It sort of put the question: Why the heck would God let that? Is He just cruel? How good is this God?

And then it came upon me, God is amazing and knows everything and will never put us through something we can't handle. Other than God's complete understanding of our (and angel's and demon's free will), God has an abounding and never ending amount of love, mercy, and forgiveness.

Through God's providence He allows these things not because humanity is capable of handling all this suffering or that He's cruel, but because God is capable and full of love and forgiveness.

The theme of this entire story of our universe is love in the end anyway.

One of the last things Jesus did before He died was forgive the thief beside Him being crucified as well. The man had lived a sinful life, and even up till his last moments he was forgiven of everything.

Some people complain how it's unfair that people living sinfully their entire lives could be forgiven at the last breath. And then we go off complaining how God is so cruel and letting evil go off around the world.

Look at us. We're arrogant, self-righteous and ungrateful in either case.

But loved so much none the less.
