Tests, trials and difficulties in the life of a committed Christian can be sometimes very depressing and discouraging. But we will understand them differently, when we view them from an alternate angle, through the eyes of God. In John 15:2, Jesus clearly stated that the Father prunes the branches that bear fruit, in order that they will bear even more fruit.
Viewing tests and trials, pain and difficulties as ways by which God prunes us to make us more efficient in Him, will help us endure those situations and enable us consider them as a "sweet pain". However, most of us throw our hands up in despair at God's workings, forgetting to seek out the reasons/purpose for that situation. I strongly believe that He does not allow any thing to happen without a reason. He prunes so we will become better until we have achieved all that He has purposed for our lives.
