God does not want His people to suffer, it is not in any way close to His plan for us.
But hardship sometimes happen because of the challenges life throws our way or because we are walking in His will.
Even apostles face challenges and this implies that we as believers should have in mind that challenges will come, this is explained in the teaching.
Going through this experiences helps us build patience,improves our reliability on God and our faith.
Tribulations prepare us,refine us and cause us to grow spiritually, they are not meaningless.
When believers go through trails, they can trust and know that God is always with them and turning things for their good.
Challenges are temporary, and through them, God shapes our character and strengthens our faith, guiding us toward His purpose. Amen.
