Life's Mysteries

So, I recently was asked a question - why does God make life so hard? It got me thinking. Yeah, why does God make life so hard? There are always, trails, obligations, responsibilities, etc in life that will never evade us. But think about this, God created all things, good and bad. God created evil to steer us off course. God created obligations, responsibilities, etc. God would never give us a challenge he knew we could not overcome. Granted, each of those challenges we cannot overcome on our own. That is why God wants us to have a personal relationship with Him. For us to rely on Him to get us through life, to grow closer to Him through our life experiences. That is God's ultimate purpose.

So, why does God make life so hard? He doesn't! We make life hard by not relying on God to carry us through each and every day.

I ask God to push me forward so that I can grow.

Which means I have to also ask for the graces that will allow me to do it.
