God did not mean that there should be so much unnecessary suffering.

Life in your world today is a very different thing from what God intended in the days of creation. God did not mean that there should be so much unnecessary suffering—unnecessary because the same progress and the same development could be brought about in a different way altogether—It could be brought about by the gentle acquiescence to the Divine Will—just that taking up of the burden and handing it over to the Saviour—when joy would be your companion instead of sorrow and all those many stages of grief, which some of my children have come to understand far too well.

Zodiac, the Christ Messenger

Progress and development can be brought about by the gentle acquiescence to the Divine Will.
