The nature of the Christian life is not one of suffering!
However, life apart from a relationship with God will eventually lead to empty misery. This is why God sent Jesus to earth, by accepting forgiveness and the free gift of salvation we also receive the abundant life. Jesus came not to give a bunch of pointless rules that make life unbearable but to bring us hope, love, joy, and peace which allow us to live the full and abundant life.
Thus God created life because He knew that life was a beautiful thing, something wonderful and He wanted to share it with us.
God Bless!

For all things there is a purpose, live ye not for this life but for the Kingdom of God which lies before you.
Better to suffer now for a purpose than to suffer for all eternity.
Best to believe now and suffer some than to not believe and be ever suffering I say. We don't suffer all the time every single day and our thirst is quenched and we have enough.
God provides the things that we need.

So we would need Him. He didn't create us to make it through life's hardships on our own. We are to rely on Him to help us through them & then give Him the glory. God created us for His glory, not our own. And He had every right too - after all He is God. I don't know if I would agree that the "nature of life is suffering" but we do get our fair share of it. It is all because of sin in the first place that we have hardships, but if we rely on God, we'll get through. Hope this helps.

God did not create suffering. He created a perfect world and Man wrecked it by his disobedience, bringing death and suffering into the world.
But God always takes suffering and makes something good out of it.
"You meant it for evil, but I meant it for good."

God did not create it. We did.
First, much evil in the world, especially physical evil, results from the limited kind of universe we live. Many suffer because of social sins and unjust systems.
Second, moral evil and much of human suffering come from man's abuse of his freedom to sin. Evil and suffering draws us to God.
Third, because of evil and suffering the virtues of courage, generosity, forgiveness, hope and sacrifice shine forth.
Finally, Christ's Paschal Mystery shows how God draws out of the depths of evil the victory of the risen Christ and his transforming love.
"We know that God makes all things work together for the good of those who love Him" (Romans 8,28).
Peace!

The nature of life is blissful pleasure. It is the shortsightedness and greed of man that brings about the suffering.

To test that you will keep faith, if you are worthy of entering his kingdom. The nature of life is not suffering, it's what you do with your life that takes you on the road to happiness. It's not always easy, but having faith will always help you.

I'm sorry your life is filled with suffering. But, I assure you that not everyone's life is. Many have found peace and understanding in their religion &/or spirituality. I hope the same for you.

He created man.
Man sinned and created suffering for himself.
