Sometimes God allows a person to suffer for a long time before death occurs; other times, a person’s suffering is cut short. No one enjoys suffering, but that does not make it right to determine that a person should die. Often, God’s purposes are made known through suffering.
Wakati mwingine Mungu anamruhusu mtu kuteseka kwa muda mrefu kabla ya kifo kutokea; mara nyingine, mateso ya mtu hukatishwa. Hakuna mtu anayefurahia mateso, lakini hiyo haifanyi kuwa haki kuamua kwamba mtu yuko tayari kufa.
