Gods fundamental goal for believers is not to protect us from harm or suffering to make us comfortable or to benefit from our service. You can biblically sum up Gods primary aim for your whole life in one uncomfortable word change. Ironic as it may sound change is the one constant that God purposes for every believer regardless of circumstances - whether you are in ministry or in a secular job married or single healthy or handicapped chronically ill or terminally diseased. Gods immediate and ongoing purpose for every Christian in time and on earth is to change us to make us like Himself to conform us to the image of His Son.
