Does God have a like?
A professor tests his or her students to assess their learning. God also puts us into hardships and troubles to assess how much we know Him. This is not for Him to know this point because He is aware of what goes on in our hearts. He does this just to make us recognize how much we trust Him and how much we are content with His decision.
He is like a kind coach who wants us to resemble Him and reach His kindness and grace.
In this regard, that student can resemble more to the coach who is the most content and humble of all students before the coach.
