Faith in God makes everyone will make God a place to depend. The journey of life that is passed will always be returned to His power. If in life you will meet happiness then it is not only because of the effort you put in. Of course there will be someone who arranges it. Because we know this nature exists because there is something that holds it. Something that initiates and is the first to occur is often called the prime cause. In religion we call him God.
Everything that happens in nature cannot be separated from the intervention of His power. Good and bad, happy and difficult of course have been outlined.

Events in life are certainly very diverse and will find conditions in pairs. There is sadness and there is also joy. but we tend to see the suffering more than the joy we get. For example, since childhood we can enjoy life, then at the age of 18 we get a disaster.
This calamity that befalls us often makes us think that life is full of suffering. We forget the pleasures and joys we enjoyed for 18 years.

Class Up Exam

Facing adversity often people forget that more joy has been enjoyed than the suffering experienced.
Then mischief arises in our minds, is it true that God deliberately allows suffering to human beings? Or maybe God doesn't exist?
Well, naughty questions like this can certainly make people waver in their faith.

For this reason, it is necessary to realize that all life's paths, which are full of twists and turns, are a test that must be taken by everyone.
Like school children who at the end of the year have to take a class promotion exam.
If we succeed in overcoming life's problems, it means we have successfully passed the test. After graduation, of course, we will occupy a higher place. This means that in life we ​​will be wiser to face problems.

Behind difficulties there is ease

When facing problems we can not see more clearly if we think in one box. We will be able to see the problem well if we let go and see the problem from a neutral side. It is difficult because when we suffer we are involved in suffering so it will be difficult to get away.

What we must assure ourselves is that every difficulty we get will always be accompanied by ease. We will surely find a solution. We just have to be more patient and try hard while continuing to pray and remember God.
We must have faith as belief in the coming of light after the darkness is gone. Like a beautiful rainbow that comes after the rain stops.
so we must also be sure that God will not give us trials that we are unable to overcome.

Training toughness step by step


The suffering experienced by every human being is not without purpose. There is great wisdom when we dig deeper. If we face suffering and manage to get through it well, then we will grow to be more resilient individuals. Every trial we receive is a training to reach a higher stage. No one in this world does not experience suffering. Precisely with this suffering we can learn a lot to face the next life. Like a plant that grows taller, it must face the wind. However, the higher the altitude, the stronger the wind will blow.
The shock of a suffering that we experience will make us stronger in all situations.

Thus, it does not mean that God allows human suffering, but that there is an added value that God is teaching us. It's just a matter of how we react to it, whether to give up or even blame God, or even think God is happy if we suffer, or even we choose to think that God never existed.
Thus all my writing this time to answer the question in Ecotrain Community.
