Suffering

"Should we accept only good things from the hand of God and never anything bad?" Job 2:10

So, I know this was back in our readings awhile ago, but we know the majority of the book of Job is this back and forth discussion with people that believe Job really had to have done something to deserve such great suffering and Job who feels he is undeserving...

I know we talk to people all the time about why bad things happen and the extent of God's hand in it. I am not sure if there is even a true way to verbalize reasoning.... I know after all the suffering Job had belief still when he says:

"But as for me, I know my Redeemer lives, and he will stand upon the Earth at last. And after my body has decayed, yet in my body I will see God!" Job 19:25

I know that I still do not understand the moments of suffering I have had in my life, and I think I have come to a place where it is ok I don't understand.. one girl told me once that I don't want to be able to understand God fully because then He wouldn't be God...however, I do know that I am so ready for heaven and to see our Savior Jesus! (I am not suicidal, just excited. ha.)
