It's easy to love God when things are good.

Very true. The "believe and receive" brand comes to mind.

I don't think we would grow much if everything were good all the time. It's the tragedies and suffering that are the real catalysts for growth, if we use them.

Then the life everlasting is a dismal prospect of eternal stagnation.
