God writes with crooked lines

We hear a lot the most common argument against God's existence: "If God exists, why does He allow suffering and death, especially of the innocent?"
The flaw in this argument is that we try or we want God to fit in with our categories, God in our own terms. If He doesn't fit in, He is not God. And that is the flaw. If God fits in with our categories, clearly and cleanly, is He really, truly God?
How many times have we experienced that what we once considered as an experience of suffering or as an experience that doesn't make sense, finally fits in. Finally it makes sense!
Just like the story of Joseph and his brothers... After years of solitude, exile and betrayal, it made sense...
"I am your brother Joseph, whom you once sold into Egypt. But now do not be distressed, and do not reproach yourselves for having sold me here. It was really for the sake of saving lives that God sent me here ahead of you."
We must be patient in living the questions because one day we will know the answers, or we won't even need answers at all.
