We lived before this life. This life is temporary. We are eternal beings that have always existed, and will always exist. Earth life is a tiny spec on the eternal scale. To us it seems like forever - but in Gods view...it's a tiny learning experience that proves our character without question. God intervenes when it is best in his view. Sometimes we can't understand it because we cannot see the eternal picture. But, if wicked people were not allowed to murder - how would there be any justice in punishing a murderous person? The same stands to reason with thieves, drug dealers, etc.

Whatever the next life holds in store for us, God needs to know what kind of people we are. This life is a place for us to test our character to its limits - when bad things happen to us, how do we react? That is the real question? This life is not about this life. It's too short to be worried about whatever injustices we suffer here, because in eternity this life is a blip on the radar. Not to mention, we all make mistakes, some are more obvious than others - but we all need forgiveness.

When we see each-other on the other side - nothing will be hidden - not even our thoughts. We will then understand why everything that took place here, happened.
