Why is there Evil in the World?

green-apple-1188472 (1)Because God controls the universe, but He has chosen not to control people.

So people have chosen bad things, and we hurt each other.

Even illnesses—how many cancers, injuries, illnesses like Multiple Chemical Sensitivity, etc. are caused by human error and worse—greed?

An old Hungarian proverb states, “Adam ate the apple, and our teeth still ache.”

Why doesn’t God stop humans from hurting each other, or at least stop bad things from happening to “good” people?

That question is more complex, and I won’t dare to answer that in a little blog, at least not today.

But God has made a place where no one will ever be able to hurt another again. It’s called Heaven.

I call it Home.

About Christa Upton

I am a wife and mother of three children ages 11, 14, and 18. I used to be a stay-at-home mom (teaching piano & dance, volunteering, etc). From 2007 to 2010, I suffered accidental Toxic Injury (also called Multiple Chemical Sensitivity or MCS). MCS has had major impact on our family, but the forced time in bed has given me time to write. So far, I have published 4 children's books (2 in e-book format on Kindle, one in Print-on-Demand at CreateSpace, and one printed by a local printer). Sometimes I miss my old life, but I love writing for children!
