Well, God allows these things because it allows us to rely more on Him, and less on ourselves. And in many cases, great suffering can bring a person closer to God and give them a better understanding of why they're in pain. In the beginning, things were perfect, but, if you believe in the Bible, then you also believe in the fall of Adam & Eve, which led to our cursed, sinful nature. Had the decision been made to never disobey the Lord, we'd have never known suffering and sin. (We were created in His image, after all.) But because of our nature, we must prove that we're deserving of eternal life by following (and believing) in Christ, and spreading His word to the anyone who will listen.

Faith may not be able to move mountains, but it can perform miracles... like saving us from our sins.
