The problem of evil, which is related to suffering, as described in the Rockbridge textbook, has been around for a long time. I find, at least in part, that free will as described in the text gives some ways of giving partial explanation, which at least removes some blame (that others may place on Him) from God.
The problem will probably continue to be debated until we leave this earth. Then we will be given the mind of Christ. Until that time, it is probably best to recognize that some aspects of life will only remain a mystery. The best course, as our confidence grows, is to trust God--even though we don't understand what is going on.
It is easy to say that when we are not the parties going through suffering. However, it does seem to be a mark of maturity when we see those who trust God in the midst of their confusion.
