Ah... this question always reminds me of one of my favorite songs.
"Things happen for a reason, you'll become a stronger person. When life tears you up, then you'll understand. It's never easy but you'll know when you get there. As it tears you down, it builds you up." - "Move Your Little Self On," Avril Lavigne.
Yes, sadly there are innocent people out there who live miserable lives. But, no matter what, God loves them and is always right there with them. Sometimes, it's a test to see how much we trust Him. Other times, it's in God's plan to make you a stronger person. For instance, I'm pretty sure that someone who was, perhaps physically abused by a parent or something of the sort, and is used to that kind of pain, will be able to tolerate it much better than someone who didn't have abusive parents/people in their life. No matter how much suffering one might have to endure here on Earth, we all must remember: this is just EARTH. Regardless if we live a glamorous life here or a terrible one, if our hearts are with God and we mean well, all the possible suffering will be worth it in the end. I'll admit, at times I can be an absolute wimp when it comes to physical pain, and I worry about dying painfully, but God sure knows how to calm my nerves, and I am ever so grateful for that.
Many times, people ask "Where is God?" Well, where was He when Jesus was on the cross? It's the same case scenario when someone else is suffering. When children die young, it is rather a blessing, to be able to join the Lord in Heaven sooner than one who lives a long, healthy life. Either way, we're all far more blessed than we will ever realize. God never makes mistakes. The Bible says that we as humans will suffer, like it or not.
And btw, I much prefer not to talk about, or even think about, the "devil." Okay. It's a very negative thing to think about, and I've found that dwelling on the negative only tears people apart. "Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own." -JESUS in Matthew 6:34
So, I'm not going to bring satan into this. Just trust God, love God, live life, be happy. ;D
