Good Things Happen to Bad People...Why?!?

Why? Why? Why? If God exists why do good things happen to bad people? Simple. If good things only ever happened to good Christian people who would ever want to do anything else? God doesn't want to sway us with trivial earthly wealth (although He may bless us with it)...He wants us to love Him for Him. It would defeat the purpose of what Christianity is all about, loving the Lord your God with all your heart, mind, and soul, and Loving your neighbor as yourself. If good things only happened to good people nobody would ever see the fact that evil exists. And why would anyone turn to God if all you need to do is be good?

Here's the key, who cares if good things happen to them on earth because they won't be reaping good things when they're gone...We so often, if not always, think of things through our limited mortal minds. People of the world reap earthly "phenomenal" rewards because that's what they invest themselves in. God said that we would reap what we sow, so if we so earthly treasures, that's what we'll receive, but if we sow heavenly treasures, that's what we'll reap. Let them have their earthly gain, and stop dwelling on their earthly blessings...Are your promises not infinitely greater than anything on earth? I'll take a shack on a rock over a castle in the sand any day, and twice on Sunday. People of the world can't see the wisdom in this because they are tuned to look at everything through their self-serving, "what's in it for me?" perspective. Instead of focusing on the right here, right now blessings, look to the future! God said that he will bless those who give and sacrifice. Let those consumed with the here and the now pleasures have them, and accept the eternal pleasure God lays out before us every day of our lives. Besides, if you ask the majority of them if they experience true FULL-BLOWN joy, I'll bet they won't say yes. Joy is the ability to be content with what you have and the willingness to give it up for those who need it more than you. And when we do this God blesses us all the more. What could be more of a blessing than knowing you put the smile on someone's face that is truly struggling in this life?

God blesses us so many ways and more than we know or ever realize...
