Difficult things

Yes, God may ask us to do difficult things. Obedience is not easy. Sometimes God puts us through difficult experiences so that we will have a deeper understanding of the way He sees people and things. He does this in order to develop in us a heart like His heart. And can there be a more powerful transformation in our lives then to learn to love as He loves--righteously, justly, loyally, compassionately, and faithfully?
