I never understood this. I have been a Christian all of my life and I’ve watched so many good people get bad things and so many bad people get good things. My brother for example is a p3do and God recently blessed him with a daughter. Why would he do that? Everything that I thought I have gotten from God has bitten me in the bottom! My life is miserable and honestly I can’t take another loss, failure, disappointment. Is this the Christian life? I know we’re not supposed to have it easy, but for everyday to be one thing after the other? What is this about? Maybe I’m wrong about love but if He loves me then why have I struggled my entire life and watched the bad guys get everything they want? I mean even some Christians get good things. But are they good Christians? I’m not sure. Anywho done ranting. My faith is a very thin string

You must understand why bad people exist. Some people receive punishment for their sins in this world, while others do not. This is because God intends to hold them accountable for their sins in heaven. Thus, it is wrong to measure justice based solely on what is visible. Just as weeds help refine the grain, and the grain helps the weeds recognize their nature, so too is the structure of families designed this way.
Sometimes, parents refine their children, while other times, children help their parents understand deeper truths. In these cases, God uses the righteous (the grain) to refine the wicked (the weeds), and through the righteous, He allows the wicked to see an example to follow.
Likewise, He uses the wicked to refine the righteous. From a worldly perspective, it may seem as though the wicked escape judgment and live well, but in the end, their sins will be judged in hell. This is why divine justice is righteous and fair. To understand God’s providence, you must look deeper and broader. To grasp God’s grace more fully, you must recognize His divine justice. If you judge only by what is seen, you will not understand God’s righteousness, justice, faithfulness, and truth.
Seek God’s wisdom, for His wisdom is the truth and power of divine love.
