God does not want to see his children in pain or suffering.

Guru Nanak Dev Ji once gave religious discourse to a great King. As they were having there discussions the King asked Guru Ji, “O Guru! As you told us; God Himself supports His true worshipper. But God has so many apostles, why does He support His devotees Himself? Why does not He send His apostles to help the devotees?”

As soon as the King asked this question, his own son who was playing at the bank of a nearby river slipped and fell in the river. The King jumped up and ran to the River. He jumped in the water and helped his son back to dry land.

After saving his child he returned to Guru Ji. Guru Nanak Dev Ji asked the King, “My dear friend, why did you jump in the river?” The King explained that his son had slipped in the river and he went to save him. Then the Guru asked, “Dear friend, you have so many servants then why did you jump in the river yourself? Why did not you send you servants to save him?” The King said, “When it comes to my son. I do not want to take any chances and would do anything it takes to protect him. I love my son very much and I do not want to lose him at any cost.”

Then Guru Ji said, “My dear friend, God loves His devotees the same way as you love your son. He does not want to see his children in pain or suffering. He loves us and treats us according to his will. If we obey his commands and try to live an honest life, one which is focused on God with every breath that we take, then he will always keep his watchful eye on his devotees. When the time comes, if we stray off the path or need Gods support, he himself is the one that gives us support, when we need it most.”
