If God is so powerful, Why do bad things Happen?


Hi everyone! This post will be shorter than the last ones , but I will talk about a question that probably has been in everyone's mind: "If God is so powerful, Why do bad things Happen? ''
Now, let's think about some points here.
1- He is powerful indeed, and above all He is omnipresent, great, wonderful, marvelous and everlasting loveable and in His great love for us He gifted us with free will , to do what we "thought " was best for our lives. See, His love is so great for us that He choose to make free willing people, peole who would have choice, people who would have natural desires. But instead of using this free wil and desire to hand over our lives to his care we decided to be independent of God, (men's biggest mistake ever) as a result we ended up being selfish people, egocentric people and detestable people.
2- We are all sinners, stained by the things of this world , undeserving of God's love and care, but still His love is extended to us day after day.
3- I don't think that we are asking the right question. The right question is :
" Why God being so powerful that even when I fall into sin and make awful mistakes does He not destroy me with His wrath? Him , being so good and me being so full of stains and mistakes, why does he remain Merciful and good?
So, when we ask this second question , we will start understading why...
You see when we ask the first question, we believe in the supremecy of men, "how dare God not imploy His power on behalf of all mighty men?" You have to change the question around, "how can I so sinful in nature , still come in the presence of all mighty,all holy God?
