Trials serve “to purge out our murky image of God; that we might see (and know) Him as He is.”

After his trial, Job confessed: “I have heard of Thee by the hearing of the ear; but my (spiritual) eyes seeth Thee. Therefore I loathe/hate/regret (my words) and abhor (despise) myself, and repent in dust and ashes.” [Job 42:5-6, kjv/amp]
The Apostle Paul gives us to know that “These things (trials, in our lives) happened for an example (and object lesson, to us); and ...are written (for the record) for our learning; upon whom the ends of the world are come.”
[1 Corinthinians 10:11]
Another witness, the prophet Hosea, told Israel: “The Lord has torn/wounded (us) so that He may heal us. (And) after two days He will revive us again ...that we may live before Him.”
[Hos 6:1-2; Isa 26:19-20; Eze 37:1-13]
And Hosea concludes: “Let us become acquainted with (our) God, and go on to know and cherish Him.”
[Hos 6:3]
Remember, “No faith, no trials.” Through Trials the Lord is saying, “I'm going to show you that you need (My) help (My deliverance).”

MUST JESUS BEAR THE CROSS ALONE,
AND ALL THE WORLD GO FREE?
NO, THERE'S A CROSS FOR EVERYONE
AND THERE'S A CROSS (TRIAL) FOR (YOU, AND) ME.
