HAS GOD LOST CONTROL?

To the human mind, settling that there is God doesn't end the stream of questions. If there is God, who created this world and mankind, then considering the terrible state of things, one will ask, "Why is there so much evil and pain?", "Is that what God wants?", "Is He a good God?", "Does He love mankind or the world?", "Does He care?", "Is He in control of things or has He lost control?", and so on. Though there are straightforward religious answers to these, yet they don't satisfy in the face of the deeply frustrating and painful experiences of men. The truth, however, is that God is good, loves His created universe including mankind, doesn't desire evil and is fully in control. Who knows Him enough to know what He is really doing to tell the rest of the world and not only that, bring to pass bliss on earth as it is in heaven? I dare say, "I do" and you are reading this because He desires for you to know.
