When God Tests Us.

 Sometimes we forget that being loved by God doesn't mean being spared from trails. If anything, His love often comes with tests, not to break us, but to strengthen our faith, purify our hearts, and draw us closer to Him.

Even Prophet Ayub (pbuh), one of the most patient men to ever walk the earth, endured pain beyond measure. He lost his health, his wealth, and his loved ones. Yet, in his heart, he never lost faith.

He said, "indeed, adversity has touched me, and You are the Most Merciful of the merciful."

That's the beauty of divine love. God doesn't promise an easy journey. He promises His presence through every storm. His silence isn't abandonment, it's preparation. His delay isn't denial, it's protection. 

And when the test passes, there's always victory. Not necessarily in the form we expect, but in a deeper peace, wiser soul, and a heart that knows it's been held by God all along. 

So if you're being tested today, remember this, even the most beloved of His servants were. And yet, every one of them emerged stronger, purified and wrapped in divine mercy. 

Hold on. God hasn't left you. He's only drawing you closer.
