God's goodness persists even in suffering, as His character does not change with our circumstances.
The goodness of God remains constant even amid suffering and judgment as seen in Lamentations 3, where Jeremiah laments the destruction of Jerusalem but still affirms God’s goodness. This paradox is evidenced by the realization that suffering is sometimes a means through which God seeks to draw His people back to Himself. Jeremiah recalls the mercies of the Lord as fundamental to hope, emphasizing that God's goodness can coexist with hardship, affirming that His judgments are ultimately aimed at restoring rather than condemning His people. God’s compassion and mercy are reminders that even during trials, He is working for the good of His people, revealing a deeper aspect of His goodness.
