God doesn't punish us with works of evil. God never said our paths would be easy. Trust in him doesn't guarantee immunity to all evil. We are given blessings, but bad things still happen. But the tricky part is taking those misfortunes and using them to help others . You can take misfortune and turn it into a gift.

I know christians who have had death in there families, loss of a child, cancer, businesses fail and yet they are still here. They still love the lord. They are helping others from the difficulties that have occurred to them.

A perfect example is..... I was raped many time by an older boyfriend as a teenager. It changed my life in a most negative way. But I have the Lord and had a trust in God when that happened to me. (though at that time I has strayed quite a bit) But in the long run 25 years later, I can see it as a gift. I have the ability to help others who have been in the same place as me, I am able to help other teenage girls see that they need to be very careful .

A friend of mine had cancer and he said that was the greatest gift he ever received (years later). He has been able to minister to those who are sick and in pain dealing with cancer, to those who are struggling, and to the families of cancer survivors. With out cancer coming into his life he would have never been able to help people in that way.

Bad thing do come out way it is human nature. God doesn't keep us from human realities, but we do have him to lean on in the face of disaster and hard ship. He is God not a Genie.

Hope that helps. That is just how I see things.
