Life is supposed to be difficult

Life is supposed to be difficult, there is a very good reason for life’s difficulties. I believe we are here for two very important reasons and that is to learn to appreciate love and to help others learn to appreciate love. We as Christians know that life isn’t just some random occurrence, there is a very important reason that we are here. I believe the main thing that we are here to learn is to appreciate everything. Just imagine if you were born in heaven, and never knew any suffering and pain and hardships of life at all, how much would you appreciate heaven? The only way that you can come to appreciate love is to have experienced the hardships of this world. Take Lazarus four example, he suffered throughout his entire life however once he made it to heaven I’m sure he was able to appreciate heaven so much more than most people in heaven because of how much he suffered throughout his life. It is very important to remember that just like Lazarus no matter how difficult things may seem God, Jesus, the holy spirit, and Angels are there with you all the time. For me I think a very good comparison to the way life is a very important lesson is for me to compare life to my schooling days. There wasn’t a single day throughout my entire schooling career that I wanted to go to school however deep down inside I knew it was necessary. Just like life throughout my schooling I just focused on hopefully one day graduating. I definitely have noticed that I appreciate life and love more and more as I get older because I believe that is the reason for life is to learn to appreciate love as much as you can and obviously it is just as important to help others appreciate love. I am so grateful for all the hardships, trials, tests, and temptations for helping me become the person that I am today. God wants everyone to go to heaven, however heaven is a completely pure place. In order for us to get to heaven we must purify ourselves as much as we can. One day if I do through God’s grace and guidance manage to graduate life it will say on my report card “Learnt to appreciate love.”
