PSALM 119 : 71

“It was good for me to be afflicted that I might learn Your decrees.”
God allows pain and suffering to lead us into a close relationship with Him and a deeper understanding of His ways. In good times we remain focused on attaining more satisfaction in our efforts.
A loving Father in heaven does not desire evil to reign, but our actions take us under its control. He is always attentive to the cries of His children to rescue them.
The purpose of life is to know God intimately and live righteously to be the light for others to know Him!
