Expectations usually don’t match reality. And one expectation people have is that the more God loves us the fewer problems we’ll face. Because if God is for us, who can be against us? He’s all powerful. He’s all loving. We’re friends. We’re all good. We’re tempted to see God’s love through the lens of our life situation. When life is good, God is good. But when life is bad, God is mad, or distant. Instead, see your situation through faith. Choose to see your situation from the angle of God’s love, rather than see God’s love from the angle of your situation.
