“Did God allow evil?”

There only exists evil when we fail to acknowledge God’s presence in our lives.

Evil is not an entity that God allowed, but it is something that humans allow to be present

in their lives. If only people would choose God everyday, even the most painful events in

life lead us to His plans. However, because of pain and of suffering, people question God.

They fail to see that everything that is happening in our lives direct us to God’s greater

plans for us. When people get succumbed in their own emotions, they choose the easier

path, the path which favors them even if it hurts others, they then allow evil to take over

their actions and choices.

God loves us unconditionally that He gave us the free will to make our choices.

He did not impose. But, every time we fail to choose him, there comes endless of chances

for us to go back to Him. It is only when we do not choose Him that we allow evil to

enter our lives. God never wanted evil to be present in our lives.
