God allows us to go through to refine us in the fire as pure gold...
then again the way we go through determines our outcome at all times<><

No. Not at all. Sometimes things go good and sometimes they dont. Its not God playing emotional games with you over holding your faith or not. Some true believers live through nothing but hard times their entire lives. Others have relatively easy lives. Dont get caught up in daily occurrances having a lot of meaning. Find God and honor him and be devoted.

I have learned much more from the tribulations in life then I have from the blessings. It rains on the just and on the unjust. Sometimes things just suck. Other times it is GOD's plan to teach us things we need to know. The trick is to be able to discern the difference between the two. That takes prayer.

No. God tells us He blesses whom He will bless and chastises whom He will chastise. There is no reason to believe that because I'm under adversity now that there's some great blessing forthcoming because of it. At least, not in this life. What I can and do know for a fact is that whatever has, is, or will happen, good or bad, in my life will all be for my benefit and good if I do, and continue to, love Him. This, to me, is the single greatest promise He makes to us outside of salvation itself. All things will work to my good if I love Him, and there's every reason TO love Him.

In Roman's Chapter 5, verses 3-5, it says: Not only so, but we also rejoice in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance; perseverance, character; and character, hope. And hope does not disappoint us, because God has poured out his love into our hearts by the Holy Spirit, whom he has given us.
Sometimes, being a Christian is hard, but it's for a reason.
God bless.

Actually I think its more of a kick in the @ss to get me thinking & moving again. Usually it involves a lesson that needs to be learned.

I don't "feel" that sort of thing. I may think that my life is going crazy, but not "feel" it. The two operations are rather different.

As long as I know that I am right with God, then I know something good is on the way.

Nope. "God" is nothing more than a nonsense word made up by man to explain away the things we can't yet understand. Wake up, get out of that cult and start taking some personal responsibility for your own happiness and success.
