There is evil in the world too! The key is to pray, for others and yourself. There is trials and tests in life that's part of the journey.
All the apostles were martyrd, except John who was exiled on the island Patmos. Paul was thrown into jail and tortured and endured shipwrecks and other horrible stuff. We will encounter bad in this world as well as good. The thing is how do we respond? Do we help others in need? As much as we can in our capacity?
Honestly honestly, in my heart of hearts, I would love to help children in the third world. I have a heart for them, I don't know how people can be "billionares" when there are starving children in the world.
