If God’s plan for human beings is so perfect, then why hasn’t the people He has worked with through time been more protected and shielded from difficulties and trials? Why is following God’s Way so hard, and require so much energy and effort? Why couldn’t He have just made us perfect from the start? God’s plan involves us knowing the options, proactively picking the right course, and sticking to it even when it’s difficult.
