I really like a story about this and I will share this story to you all and maybe this simple story will give an explanation on the nature of God.
A man went to a barber shop to have his hair cut and his beard trimmed. As the barber began to work, they began to have a good conversation. When they were talking about God, the barber said: "I don't believe that God really exist."
"Why did u say so?" asked the man.
Well, you just have to go out in the street to realize that God doesn't exist. Tell me, if God exists, would there be so many sick people? Would there be abandoned children? If God exists, there would be neither suffering nor pain, I can't imagine such a loving God will allow all these things happen.
Then the man kept quiet as he didn't want to start an argument. After the barber finished his job, the man left the shop.
Just after he left the shop, he saw a man in the street with long, dirty, stringy and untrimmed beard. he looked dirty and unkempt. The customer turned back and entered the barber shop again and he said to the barber, "You know what? Barbers do not exist."
"How can you say that?" asked the surprised barber.
"I am here, I am a barber and I just worked on you."
"No! Barbers do not exist bacause if they are exist, there would be no people with dirty hair and untrimmed beards like that man outside."
"Ah, but barbers do exist! That's what happen when people do not come to me" said the barber.
"EXACTLY!!!" affirmed the man. That's the point. God does exist. That's what happen when people do not come to HIM and seek HIM for help. That's why there is so much suffering and pain in this world. Sometimes God may let something happen is just because He want us to look for HIM, seek HIM and asked for HIM.
