How does God demonstrate His love during difficult times?

God demonstrates His love, especially during difficult times, through His providence and presence. In the story of Lazarus, Jesus' delay in coming when Lazarus was sick serves as a reminder that God's timing is different from ours, and His purposes are for His glory and our ultimate good (John 11:4). This affirms that trials are not an indication of God’s absence or lack of care. Instead, they are often orchestrated events through which He reveals His power and love, strengthening our faith and bringing us closer to Him.
