How do we know that God's love is present during suffering?

In Hebrews 12:7-8, it's emphasized that enduring God's chastisement is a mark of being His true children. When we suffer, we often question God's presence and love. However, Scripture teaches us that such suffering is intricately tied to His love and nurturing guidance. God does not abandon His children in their suffering; rather, He uses it as a tool for instruction and growth. The peaceable fruits of righteousness that follow His chastisement assure us that even in hardship, His love and purposes are at work in our lives, shaping us into His image.
