God sure looks like a schumck sometimes.

Just because God loves you does not mean he's going to give you all the crazy and dumb stuff you think you need to be happy. In fact, God facilitates the movement of suffering into the lives of Christians. On purpose. But this actually does not make him a schmuck.

Because he has taken us into his care as sons and is therefore actively committed to our good,
AND
He knows everything {he knows the potential outcomes of all options in all circumstances},
AND
He is completely sovereign {he has the power to control absolutely everything}:
Every single thing that happens to us is for the purpose of bringing us closer to him.

Romans 8:28:
All things work together for the good of those who love him and have been called according to his purpose.
