       It’s also true that even if we were to face famine, nakedness, danger, or physical violence against us, that this doesn’t mean God doesn’t love us. I believe this can be a temptation for us, to think that when troubling times come, or a troubling event, that we believe God is upset with us about something or has turned against us. Most of the time those thoughts are unfounded. Unless we are deliberately sinning, we realize that we will have trouble in the world, as Jesus told us, but that doesn’t mean that God is against us or doesn’t love us. In fact, it is true that sometimes God calls people to more intense suffering, which will include these things. The Apostle Paul could definitely testify to that fact. There are missionaries, for instance, in our day and age who have faced these kinds of sufferings. In Paul’s case, he said probably about himself (quoting Scripture), “For your sake we are being killed all the day long; we are regarded as sheep to be slaughtered.”
