I had to explain to a co worker that even though she is suffering depression and pain in her heart, it is not God punishing her. She thinks God hates her I guess. I told her God does not hate her. The reason why there is illness is because of the fall of man. I told her it is sin that has done this to us. But God sent Jesus to save us all from sin. That is God's grace.

I hope I explained this well. I told her God loves people not hate people. If He hated people then God would of not His only begotten Son to save us.
