text: I think Nathan is peeling away something that shrouds the deepest mystery; why a sovereign, all-powerful, omniscient Creator, who is, "good all the time" permits/wills pain and suffering in the lives of His creatures.  There is no answer.  But there is Christ:  The One righteous God, bearing in His own flesh suffering and a death on the cross.  Redeeming His creation through suffering.  Drinking in full measure all our pain with us.
  
  So when we join Nathan in remembering "God is Good - All the Time"  We should also rejoice that God is suffering with us and for us - "all the time" also.  He has left us hope in the deepest darkness.
