As a Christian I truly dont believe God "punishes" us with suffering. I believe in complete redemption in Christ

there is suffering in this "fallen" world. period.
sometimes people suffer through no apparent fault of their own and other times yes, we bring about our suffering as a consequence of bad choices we make. That isnt God punishing us IMO but us "reaping what we sow" in the natural.

I really hope you will be able to find a copy of that Phillip Yancey book "Where Is God When It Hurts" as just the first pages cover exactly what you are asking here.
