He is more concerned with my character (that is, the character of Christ cultivated in me), than my comfort. And in the midst of this bloody struggle (it is indeed bloody, for it required the blood of Jesus and requires my daily death to self), He still wants to give me every good thing, every fruit, every virtue, every blessing, every good gift.
