God’s unfailing love

As a father pities his children, so the Lord pities those who fear [reverence] Him. For He knows our frame; He remembers that we are dust. (Psalm 103:13–14)

 Jesus, can sympathize with our weaknesses, because He was “tempted in every way, just as we are.” He certainly knows what it’s like to suffer.
 God has a purpose for everything He allows to happen to us, even though we may not always see it right away. For example, difficult times can often bring out sweetness and goodness in people. For those who do not allow themselves to become embittered or hardened by them, sorrow, sacrifice, and sadness can bring out the good things: love, tenderness, and concern for others. If we have found God’s love in Jesus, we’ll want to share that answer and that love with others, so He can ease their sufferings and help them through difficult times too.
 Though we can understand many of the reasons for suffering through reading God’s Word, we won’t know all the answers to this persistent question until we get to heaven.
 With time we can view our suffering with a new perspective. Through it, we can become wiser and more compassionate toward others who are suffering.
 And despite our limited knowledge and understanding of these deeper questions of life, there is one thing we can be sure of, and that is God’s unfailing love. We will at times be in pain or grieve, but we are not left hopeless and helpless. [1]

 Suffering can refine us rather than destroy us because God himself walks with us in the fire. —Timothy Keller
