All of us, especially now, go through tough tests in life, and some even continue to live through them every day. We may wonder why God doesn't just set things right.
We need these trials to get serious about knowing God and His purpose for our lives. They force us to dig deep into the Scriptures and qualify what we believe.
If life became perfect upon our salvation on Christ's cross, we would never bother to read holy scripture and we’d never know God or of His love for us because we’d think that we had it made.
God does not give us these struggles out of spite but out of love. God wants us to know Him and to love Him, and He wants us to be separated from the ways of this world. It’s through these trials that He can refine our hearts and draw us closer to Him. Then we’ll learn the truth and the truth will bring our rebirth into abundant living and ready for when Jesus calls us Home to be with Him forever.
1 Peter 5:10 In his kindness God called you to share in his eternal glory by means of Christ Jesus. So after you have suffered a little while, he will restore, support, and strengthen you, and he will place you on a firm foundation.
