Why so many things happen to us and we do not stop to think that it is mainly because of that disobedience that we have with God every day and without realizing it we make many mistakes and many times knowing that what we do is unpleasantin the presence of God, we have a great duty to the creator, to the one who died to save us who gave his own life to take care that the whole of humanity is saved, I know that many do not believe in the spiritual that comes from God, from above, we must turn our face to the only one who can solve the problems, the anguish, the onslaught of our disobedience and end once and for all leave this desert that we carry this test that never ends and start a new life next to that that I stretch your arms to tell the world "here I am I love you" that without hesitation will always be in good times and bad, who will take care that you never fall and if you do you will help Tarte in a safe way he tells you even if you pass through the waters you will not refuse and even if you pass through the fire you will not burn yourself, in that person we must trust.

That says the word of God when you pass through a desert or test ..

One of the most difficult parts of the Christian life is the fact that being a disciple of Christ does not make us immune to the trials and tribulations of life. Why would a good and loving God allow us to go through such things as the death of a child, illness and damage to ourselves and our loved ones, financial difficulties, worry and fear? Surely, if he loved us, he would remove all these things from us. After all, does not it mean loving ourselves that God wants our lives to be easy and comfortable? No, it's not like that. The Bible clearly teaches that God loves those who are His children, and "all things work together for good" (Romans 8:28). That should mean then that the trials and tribulations that He allows in our lives are part of all the things that help us well. Therefore, for the believer, all trials and tribulations must have a divine purpose.

As in all things, God's outstanding purpose is that we be transformed more and more in the image of His Son (Romans 8:29). This is the goal of the Christian, and everything in life, including trials and tribulations, is designed to enable us to reach that goal. It is part of the process of sanctification, being set apart for God's purposes and equipped to live for His glory. The way in which the evidence accomplishes this is explained in 1 Peter 1: 6-7: "In which you rejoice, though now for a little while, if necessary, you must be afflicted in various trials, for which you submit test your faith, much more precious than gold, which though perishable is tried with fire, be found in praise, glory and honor when Jesus Christ is manifested. "The faith of the true believer will be strengthened by the trials we experience so that we can rest in the knowledge that it is real and will last forever.

The tests develop the pious character, and that allows us "... [to glory] in the tribulations, knowing that the tribulation produces patience; and patience, proof; and the test, hope; and hope does not embarrass; because the love of God has been poured out in our hearts by the Holy Spirit that was given to us "(Romans 5: 3-5). Jesus Christ was the perfect example. "But God shows his love for us, in that while we are still sinners, Christ died for us" (Romans 5: 8). These verses reveal aspects of His divine purpose both through the trials and tribulations of Jesus Christ and ours. Perseverance proves our faith. "I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me" (Philippians 4:13).

However, we must be careful never to make excuses for our "trials and tribulations" if they are the result of our own evil. "So, none of you suffer as a murderer, or a thief, or an evildoer, or for meddling in what is foreign." (1 Peter 4:15) God will forgive our sins because the eternal punishment for them has been paid for the sacrifice of Christ on the Cross. However, we still have to suffer in this life the natural consequences for our sins and bad decisions. But God even uses those sufferings to mold and form us for His purposes and our ultimate good.

The trials and tribulations come with a purpose and a reward. "My brethren, be of great joy when you find yourself in various trials, knowing that the trial of your faith produces patience. But let patience have its complete work, that you may be perfect and complete, without lacking anything ... Blessed is the man who endures temptation; because when he has withstood the test, he will receive the crown of life, which God has promised to those who love him "(James 1: 2-4, 12).
