This question is somewhat related to the Problem of Evil. To start off, I do understand that we're slaves of the Creator and He can do whatever He wishes with us.
- He can bless a couple with a child and then take the child away from the couple as well. Thereby causing the couple considerable amount of grief and pain.
- He is the one who grants political power to humans. He grants power to tyrants who slaughter innocents and thereby causing immense grief and pain.
- He is the one Who gives sustenance and when He likes it, takes it away as well. Thereby causing grief and pain to one who is in such a position.
I will restate that we're His slaves and He's our master and can do whatever He wishes.
What I have a hard time understanding is that we're supposed to love Him as well. I just cannot bring myself to do that.
- How can I love someone who causes me pain and grief
- How can I love someone who is only happy if I am writhing in pain and grief
