There are times when we suffer innocently at other people’s hands. When that occurs, we are victims of injustice. But that injustice happens on a horizontal plane. No one ever suffers injustice on the vertical plane. That is, no one ever suffers unjustly in terms of his or her relationship with God. As long as we bear the guilt of sin, we cannot protest that God is unjust in allowing us to suffer. R.C. Sproul
About This Quote

When we suffer, it might be because of something that someone else has done. But the Bible tells us that God is the only one who never wrongs anyone. We might disagree with certain things that people do to us, but if they are wrongs against God, then God is right. And that’s why we need to trust him.
