God does allow many hard things to happen to us. He does not cause it. Satan comes to steal, kill and destroy, not God. But why does God allow Satan to hurt us so much? May the best man win. He does it to encourage us so we realize we are stronger then we realized we were. He gives us challenges to overcome which keeps life from being boring. Our lives are like a movie that God is constantly watching. He loves to see if we will overcome the obstacles. There will be challenges in the next life too. This life prepares our will to be stronger for the after life. We won't just sit on a cloud and sing songs all day.
Unfortunately, God loves drama. He doesn't just want us to be "nice." He wants us to be strong. If you have read any chapter of the Bible all the way through, you will see that God loves challenges and debates and conflict. God is more proud of us when we learn how to fight well. When we show him that we can be strong. He does not want us to be weak or cowards. He wants to see us overcome so he can say to us, "Well done my good and faithful servant."
"Do one thing every day that scares you," I heard in a song. The more personal dares you give yourself, the more of a warrior you will become and God loves warriors the most. Go be a warrior for Jesus! Don't be too scared to do whatever he asks you to do. Overcome. Be strong. Be a soldier in the army of God. It is not easy. But it is fun. :)
