How do we know that God loves us during our trials?

In moments of trials and tribulations, believers are encouraged to remember that their suffering is not a sign of abandonment but a manifestation of God's love. As Winslow points out, our trials can become 'loving corrections' from our Father, helping us to grow closer to Him. The process of enduring suffering underlines the depth of Christ's sacrifice for humanity, showcasing the impressive nature of God's love, which leads us to trust in Him even in difficult times. As believers, we can take comfort in knowing that God's dealings with us, however severe, are undergirded by His affectionate desire for our growth and sanctification.
