If God is real, why does He make children suffer?

The issue of this question is an issue of perspective; God clearly does not view life and death the same way that we do. We view issues of human suffering from a very temporal, in-the-moment way. This comes naturally because we are IN the scene... We cannot see the big picture.

As an example, if a child is suffering in this life, but goes on to receive eternal life and live with God forever, is this really "unfair"? Compared to eternity, our life is infinitely smaller than the blink of an eye. We need to keep perspective in mind when talking about these things... God knows what He is doing! We need to remember that He loves us and DOES care about us deeply... The fact that human beings are capable of enjoying eternal life with God is enough to right all of the wrongs and injustices done by mankind.
