One of our Pastors, whose heart is for missions, wrote this as his facebook status today. It never occurred to me this way.

I wonder if God asks the same questions we do sometimes. For instance, when we ask God why he lets people starve to death, or doesn’t give them clean drinking water, or lets them die of diseases for which we have cures, does He say “There is ample food grown every year so that no one need to go hungry, I have provided the rain, fertile soil and sunshine, there is enough clean water and technology to clean water so that no one should have to drink water contaminated with parasites, and enough medicine is produced each year to save countless lives, but it does not reach those who need it”. I think when we ask Him, “why don’t you stop this suffering”, maybe He asks, “why don’t you?”.
