It's a good question!
Should we accept all the good things from God but not the difficult things?
Should we eat everything on the plate God gives us, or just the things we like?
The things we don't like are often good for us.
We don't actually deserve any of the good things God gives us. And the trials we do get are nothing compared to what our sin deserves.
Instead of wondering 'How come God allowed this bad thing to happen to me?' ask 'How come God has allowed so many good things to happen to me?'
There is an old proverb that says, "All sunshine makes a desert." It's true! If you want a nice garden you need some clouds and rain. All sunshine is not good. It's the same in our lives. If we only got 'good' things from God we wouldn't grow very much as Christians. We need some hard times to make us real and to depend on God.
And we have God's promise that ALL things will work together for GOOD if we love Him.
