As for me life has presented itself as tough love to bring me closer to God and the understanding of why He loves me So much. I just wanted to know if others feel this way too. To know God Loves us this much that He molds us into better souls and we are Loved no matter how many dont love us. To know from others that we are not alone would be a good response to this question and the more the better because a lot do feel alone as we all know we can at times. Your answers will boost the faith in those who feel alone during their trial.

We have to understand that us Christians who live for the Lord are going through a refining process because Jesus is coming soon and we need to be as ready as possible.
The Lord uses ALL things to the good of those who love Him. The problem comes in with our faith. We need to read His word and stand on it, so that when life throws us problems, we lean on Him and let His strentgh overtake our weakness.
Sometimes it is Satan who comes to destroy and then we need to get into God's presence so that He can lead us.
We are never ever alone if we love God and try to follow His commandments. We just have to trust Him.
The Lord is so good and He is so very PERSONAL to each one of us. He knows our needs, our desires. Blessed be His holy, wonderful Name.

It is written ....All things happen for good to those that love the Lord and are called according to his purpose.
That molding you mention is the Lord purifying us like gold is refined,we are melted and the dregs are removed from us which are what displeases the Lord.
I had to get used to feeling alone a long time ago,but in reality we are not alone because anywhere in the world anyone that is a true believer is in essence together,this gives me comfort.

Umm i'm a Christian and that i'm no longer disenchanted approximately something and that i don't have a situation with Pagans or each and every individual at occupied with that count. If something i prefer to be left on my own basically as you Pagans do to boot. regardless of if at cases i ask your self why some Pagans look to hate all Christians while i've got no longer afflicted you or each and every individual else for that count. possibly some Pagans are concentrated on the previous and hate or dislike Christians by using all of that. besides with all that being suggested God does love all of us even with what some human beings might have faith regardless of if it relatively is genuine.

I see trials and problems as a way to reaffirm my faith. If your faith is never tested and you never have reason to question and find your way back to the answer, then what good does it do you to profess faith? If you came to God untried and unpurified through fire, you would be coming to Him solely from what you have been handed by a preacher or parent. Through facing the fire and coming out purified you are coming to God solid in your convictions. Good luck with whatever you may be going through.

You are not alone. I, along with my husband have gone through turbulent times when we could have lost everything, but didn't. I feel that the tough and bad times have given us strength to carry on in our faith and make us ready for anything to come. Yes, we have learned our lessons too to be more faithful.

I think the person we become is molded by the trials we go thru in our lives, so I suppose you could say He's molding us. Sometimes the only thing that holds me together is faith.

I don't believe that God uses 'tough love' on us. He would never lock His door to us if we broke curfew all month because of heavy drinking. His door is always open. I see the hardships in my life being caused by my own stupidity, by my own errogance, my selfishness and wanting temporary pleasure of flesh, etc. I wasn't forced to do drugs or run away to steal. I did it all on my own free will and knew what I was doing was wrong but didn't care. But I must say that I am truly thankful to God for having the love and patience to wait for me to turn myself around. I finally hit rock bottom but God was there to catch me. I still make some mistakes but they are not nearly as bad as before. With God's love and me keeping Him in mind daily, my struggles are less frequent and less harsh. I pray for strength every day and I know that God is loving me every day. I am still using my free will to do as I please, but now I try my best to please God first. If I please God, then I am pleasing myself also. Living by God's rules makes life better!

James1:2-4
My brethren, count it all joy when you fall into various trials, knowing that the testing of your faith produces patience. But let patience have it's perfect work, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking nothing.

Yes if anyone does not undergo these trials they don't know the love of God who teaches His children His ways.

God either rewards you or gives you punishment for your deeds.
Or God can put to any test to check how strong are you in your faith.
