All of my life I have had the gift to be able to see the big picture; the consequences and repercussions or benefits and rewards to my actions. This affords me the ability to, more often than not, choose right over wrong. I have always been concerned for others' well-being, not just my own. I have always had an acute sense of "right" and "wrong."
Why then, does God allow some people to have tendencies towards the opposite? We are all sinners, all fallen, all subject to the curse; but why does he seem to lay a stronger guiding hand on some more than others? Does he then show favoritism? Our choices are not our choices anyway because "apart from God we can do nothing" and "there is no one righteous, no one who pleases God" therefore, he must enable us to choose the right. Why does he seem to enable some more than others? Is God unfair? Does that make him unjust?
Smoe are born to poverty, others to luxury. Some are born to slavery, others to freedom. Some to a supportive and loving family, others to monsters. Some with health and others with constant sickness.
Can I blame God for where he has placed me? The gifts and abilities he has given me? The grace he has poured onto me throughout my life? PLEASE?Would blaming him make the hurt go away? Would it make me more understanding, accepting, and loving to those who make wrong choices even when those choices clearly will not benefit them or anyone else?
What will make the pain go away?
