If God loves us so much why is our life so filled with trouble?

If God loves us so much then why is our live so much affected by different problems? Or if we ask this question through the words of the Holy Scripture: why does God scold the one who loves and why does he punish the one who receives him? In other words, if God loves us so much why is our life so filled with trouble?

Love is present in the smallest things

Love is present in all the bodily gestures, when, serving God the body is filled with spiritual fruits, when man raises his hands towards God for charity and partaking, when he directs his steps toward the house of mourning and weeping climbing towards the house of prayer.

If you don’t love everybody you don’t love enough

In love we need to love everybody, same as God loves us the way we are, despite our sinful condition.

Blessed are they that have not seen but have believed!

God resources to wonders in order to convince us only in special cases, and calls in a mystical way each one of us. Which means that our heart is lit by His light, we understand Him, we feel His call and we say “My Lord and God!” same as Thomas did when Jesus resurrected. We don’t touch, but only by increasing our spirit we get to see the unseen God.

Love casts out curious inquiry as a useless spy.

Parents, rejoice your children!

May that the serene and pure joy of a happy infancy be with our children, even from their cradle. May that love incessantly comfort and tender warm their hearts.

Learn how not to judge your neighbour

Take the example of the Almighty God, who forgave the sins of so many murderers and enemies. 

Humble yourself so God won’t humble you

„Brother, for the sake of the great gift God has given to you that through your sins so much you’ve damaged consider this: think of yourself as the most unworthy and faultiest of them all. Be grateful to those who allow you the chance to be humble, meaning those who denigrate or have denigrated you. Even if you reluctantly accept their words, make an effort and don’t show your discontent”.

Prayer- conversation and reconciliation with God

Prayer is the conversation and union of man with God, strength of the world, mother of tears, cleansing of sins.

Prayer is not a rule, it’s a necessity

Saint Teophan the Recluse advises the parents not to force their children to read prayers from books but to pray from the heart: “God have mercy”, “Thank you God”, “Praise to you, O, Lord” every time he recalls God.
