I think the really hard part to understand is that even though we are carnal and foolish and weak, we would endanger ourselves to stop little girls from being raped, (since we're using this example), but most of the time we simply don't have the power to stop it.  But we know God does have that power, and does not stop little girls from being raped.  How are we to reconcile this with the foundational truth that God is love?
We know that surgeons must slice and cut and cause pain and make a mess of blood to bring healing.  It's necessary, it's good, and the end result is wonderful.  We know that muscles are formed by effort and pain and the breaking down and rebuilding of fibres.  There are countless analogies, but when we talk about these monumental concepts of life and creation, it gets very difficult to sort. Our minds are too small to comprehend His ways. 
We, who have had a taste of the "Depths of God", we should be well qualified to see that He is more than capable of phenomenal surprise plot twists at just the right time.  I don't claim to understand the mystery, but I rest in this.
