If you’re ever wondering about the love of God, remember that his amazing love is best displayed in the midst of pain and hardship.
Hi, I’m Joni Eareckson Tada. And sometimes we wonder how can God love us if he allows so much pain in our life? Well, first, let’s remember that God's love is not an easy, breezy feeling of infatuation; God's love is always best displayed in the midst of pain and hardship. The Bible goes so far as to say, “Greater love has no one than this, that he lay down his life for his friends.” Oh my goodness, God loved us so much, he died to show it. And look what his love has won us: escape from hell and a home in heaven. Friend, when you consider how God's love secured for us such awesome benefits and blessings, how dare we question his motives? Look, if he loved you enough to die for you, then surely he can be trusted in the midst of your pain and problems. Encouraging words to remember today if you are hurting or wondering about the love of God. Believe me, his is amazing love.
