Some people struggle trying to make sense out of HOW can God be LOVE when He allows so much suffering in the life of Christians? Tim Hall does a superb job of explaining how to make sense out of the question!
God not only is a God of LOVE, but He is also a heavenly Father who disciplines His children. This may not sit well with some people, but God is far more concerned about Christ-like character growth than He is about our personal comfort.
Saying it another way – God will not sacrifice our comfort at the expense of by-passing CHARACTER GROWTH in those who truly belong to Him. Inevitably – Character growth involves trials, as Tim points out so well in this insightful message that all Christians need to get a good handle on.
