Why does God allow us to suffer?
Approved answer
The Role of Suffering in Personal Growth
Nothing compels an individual to truly face themselves like experiencing hardship. Suffering shifts our attention inward, prompting us to confront aspects of ourselves that we might otherwise overlook. In this way, God can utilize suffering to transform us into better individuals—those capable of loving and enjoying Him for eternity (Romans 5:3-5; James 1:2-4).
