WHY DO GOD'S CHILDREN HAVE DIFFICULTIES

 

Why God allows his children to go through life difficulties? I know this question bothers many people's mind but by God's grace let us try to investigate the reasons using our constitution the Bible.
I know God doesn't enjoy seeing his children suffering, but He uses difficulties to achieve his purposes in our lives.
Some of the reasons why God allows us to go through hardships or difficulties are;
1. Growth and Maturity: Difficulties help us to grow and mature in our faith, character, and relationships (James 1:2-4, Romans 5:3-5).
2. Refining and purification: Challenges refines and purify our faith making it genuine and strong ( 1 Peter 1:6-7, Isaiah 48:10).
3. Dependence on God: Difficulties drives us to depend on God, seeking his guidance, strength and comfort, ( 2 Corinthians 1: 8- 10, Psalms 50: 15).
4. Developing empathy and compassion: Experiencing difficulties help us understand and relate to others who face similar challenges, ( 2 Corinthians 1: 3-4).
5. Witness and testimony: Overcoming difficulties can be a powerful witness to others, showcasing God's love and faithfulness (Job 9:3, Psalms 119:71).
6. Preparation for eternity: Difficulties prepares us for eternal life, teachings us to value what truly matters and to long for heaven (2 Corinthians 4:16-18, Romans 8:18).
7. Demonstrating God's power: God allows difficulties to demonstrate his power, wisdom, and love in our lives ( 2 Corinthians 12: 9:10, Psalms 138:8).
Therefore, relax and rejoice when you meet challenges because they come to do some invisible work in us, I love you all, my Facebook Family, let us grow together in the knowledge, wisdom, and understanding of God.
