“I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.”
John 16:33
Sometimes we are tempted to question God during tough times. It can be difficult to understand why a God of love would let his people suffer so much. However, none of us were promised an easy life. God never said that Christians were immune to pain and sorrow. Jesus himself promised that we would have trouble in this world. The reason why we continue to have hope and joy in the face of adversity is because we know that Jesus has "overcome the world." We will soon exchange our temporary hardships for eternal joy in the presence of our God.
"The real problem is not why some pious, humble, believing people suffer,
but why some do not.”
but why some do not.”
- C.S. Lewis
