God’s desire for each of us is simple. He wants us to live in a way that pleases Him. This means being honest, kind, faithful, and living with integrity. God wants us to become people of strong character, reflecting His goodness in everything we do.
Sometimes, we may begin to drift from His path. In those moments, God knows exactly how to get our attention. He may use difficult situations to stop us and help us reflect on where our choices are leading. If we continue in the wrong direction, we risk missing the good things He has already prepared for us.
Life’s challenges are not without purpose. Can we not infer from Biblical accounts that God allows trials not to punish us, but to help us grow? These moments shape us, teaching us to trust Him more and helping us understand what He wants to change in our hearts.
We should allow the things learned in life to build spiritual maturity. This growth doesn’t happen overnight. It takes time, guidance, and sometimes pain. But through it all, He offers hope and direction through His Word.
And we know that God causes all things to work together for good to those who love God, to those who are called according to His purpose.
Romans 8:28
