The Purpose in the Pain

People often ask me, “If God is really a God of love, then why do we have to suffer? Why do we have to go through pain to grow stronger in our faith?”

It’s a fair question. It’s an emotional question. But I challenge that perspective. Because we see the same pattern all around us—in nature, in growth, even in our own bodies.

Let’s talk about something we all understand: building muscle. You don’t grow stronger by sitting still. Muscles grow when they are tested, stretched, and even torn—yes, torn—just enough so that when they heal, they come back stronger.
