God is Love.
You get to decide what your life is. Some folks think it's difficult when their Jaguar isn't ready to pick up when they want it. Others think it's difficult when they have to walk two miles for the water each morning instead of one mile.
Your life is as difficult as you choose to see it.
God does not punish.

Actually God will not try anyone with hardships or bad things of any kind. Look at James chapter 1 verse 13 where it shows that. Now read Ecclesiastes chapter 9 verse 11, where it shows things happen just because of life and unforeseen events. We are imperfect and sometimes we just make the wrong choices or mistakes, plus the devil does try real hard to make our lives stressful and painfilled.

The primary reason for earth life is so we can develop a better understanding of the principles of happiness. It's one thing to tell people what's right and what's wrong, but to really understand requires experience. Earth life is full of competing ideas, challenges, and people making both good and bad decisions. This encourages us to develop a more complete understanding of truth, to understand as God understands.
Life may be tough, but it will be worth it, particularly if we take advantage of the opportunities to learn and to help others along the way. A good approach is to continue to seek for truth and to bring your life into compliance with what you find. That will lead to happiness and greater and greater truth.

Everyone is so quick to blame God. "There is people starving in Africa, its God's fault" "I lost my job, it's God's fault He must be punishing me"
Most of the time when bad crap happens to us, it is are fault. I have looked back at alot of things in my life that sucked and it was my fault, and if it wasn't my fault it was someone elses. Yes, someone being born in Africa and starving when not have a chance, sucks. But people seem to forget that us Humans brough sin into the world and what does sin bring, crapyness. So for those people starving in Africa we can blam every single one of OUR SELVES. We all sin, so it is all our fault. (and that guy called the devil). You will never know everything about God and you will never get all the answers to your questions about Jesus. The thing is though is that people demand to know everything about God and have very question answered, but when they decide to be an Atheist and not believe in God, there are perfectly fine saying to unanswered questions "we have not discovered that yet" Or it was all by accedent so we dont know all the answers of how it happen. Jesus asked these things of us, Love God with all you HEART, all your SOUL, and all your MIND. Then love your neibior as yourself. You do this it will all fall into play.
God bless. Its all about LOVE.

God doesn't make people's life difficult. People make their lives difficult. Some people believe in God so much that they just sit back and rely on God to make decisions for them. God is a belief, a faith. You are in control of your destiny.

No, if you believe in God, he or she does not punish people by making everything difficult... People make everything difficult for THEMSELVES....... People make up their own minds what to do about situations in their lives.... they make their own mistakes.... people's lives become difficult due to many things.... one of which is because of themselves... another is FATE and there's TEMPTATION that causes a LOT of trouble and in some instances, even LUCK has something to do with people's lives being difficult...

God never punishes...he loves. And what you might call "difficulties in live" are actually obstacles that he puts you through just to make you a stronger person and of bigger will. He sees how you get back up from these trials...

He may, that is fully within His rights as the sovereign of the universe. For the believer, He uses hard times for many reasons, to keep our egos and pride in check, to toughen us up for the tougher times coming, and for chastisement, as a Father disciplining a child.

life happens. there is no evidence that god causes good or bad. The real test of any human being is to not abuse the good things that come their way and to forge ahead through the bad times so we can be there for those less fortunate than us.

I don't believe that at all - The devil, and making poor choices on your own that are not aligned with God leads you to trials and tribulation, and that isn't of God, that is of Satan. We're God's children he wouldn't hurt us or make us suffer -that's not what I would do to my child and I'm not God.
