God's way is perfect, and so is the world He made in His image and likeness. The real question isn't why things go wrong, it's why God gave humanity the capacity to choose in the first place. Without challenge there is no choice, and without choice there is no love, no faith, no fulfillment. Repentance is not saying sorry, it is changing your mind, because the kingdom of God does not come by observation, it comes when your perspective changes enough to see what is already here. Choice is the shared virtue between us and God, the very thing that makes a perfect creation come alive.
