This is one of the best explanations of why God allows pain

and suffering that I have seen. It's an explanation other people

will understand.
 

A man went to a barbershop to have his hair cut and his beard

trimmed. As the barber began to work, they began to have a

good conversation. They talked about so many things and

various subjects.
 

When they eventually touched on the subject of God, the barber
said: "I don't believe that God exists."
 

"Why do you say that?" asked the customer.
 

"Well, you just have to go out in the street to realize that God
doesn't exist. Tell me, if God exists, would there be so many

sick people? Would there be abandoned children? If God existed,

there would be neither suffering nor pain. I can't imagine a loving

God who would allow all of these things."

The customer thought for a moment, but didn't respond because

he didn't want to start an argument. The barber finished his job

and the customer left the shop.

 

Just after he left the barbershop, he saw a man in the street with long,

stringy, dirty hair and an  untrimmed beard. He looked dirty and unkempt.

The customer turned back and entered the barber shop again

and he said to the barber: "You know what? Barbers do not exist."

 

"How can you say that?" asked the surprised barber. "I am here,
and I am a barber. And I just worked on you!"
 

"No!" the customer exclaimed. "Barbers don't exist because if

they did, there would be no people with dirty long hair and

untrimmed beards, like that man outside."
 

"Ah, but barbers DO exist! What happens is that people do not

come to me."

 

"Exactly!"- affirmed the customer. "That's the point! God, too,
DOES exist! What happens is that people don't go to Him and

do not look for Him. That's why there's so much pain and

suffering in the world."
 

If you think God exists, send this to other people---

If you think God does not exist, delete it!

BE BLESSED & BE A BLESSING
