Many good things are spoken about Christian living and if one has neither read the bible nor gone through pain, it all seems to be true. But if we are to read the bible with a sober mind and realistically look at our lives, we will conclude that all is not well. In my opinion, Christianity is not as easy as portrayed by most speakers and authors, it is a difficult life. And it is through life difficulties that we get to know God in all His fullness, get to know who we really are as individuals and get transformed for the better.
