Let me ask you this: if life were easy, would you really need Jesus? Honestly, if you had everything you needed and wanted and there was no pain or suffering in this world, would you really need Him? I think God purposely make life hard so that you will realize that you can’t do it alone and that you need God to help you. Take a look at his passage from Romans 5:3-5:
“Not only so, but we also rejoice in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance; perseverance, character; and character, hope. And hope does not disappoint us, because God has poured out his love into our hearts by the Holy Spirit, whom he has given us.”
Yes, sometimes life is easy and things are going well and then…BOOM!...something bad happens and you wonder, “Why is this happening?”
And when those hard times happen and things seem to be going bad, remember these great Biblical passages:
“TRUST in the Lord, your God, with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding but in all ways acknowledge Him and He will make your paths straight.” (Proverbs 3:5-6)
“Blessed is the man who perseveres under trial, because when he has stood the test, he will receive the crown of life that God has promised those who love Him.” (James 1:12)
“Never will I leave you, never will I forsake you.” (Hebrews 13:5)
I hope that answers your question!
