Human suffering cannot be explained philosophically or theologically. Only the view of the cross reveals its meaning: God's love. It is a mystery. A mystery should not be analyzed, but it can be loved. We love God because He is a mystery. Therefore, we can worship Him. We love humanity because there is a mystery within it. When we analyze it (break it down into pieces), we cannot love it because those are pieces, not the person.
God is capable of creating life from suffering and death. Even from your suffering. Believe this strongly.
