Suffering/Sin/Death/Life
Regardless if you are suffering or sining in any way, God can and will help and use you. We all have some sin (1 John 1:3-9) and we all will suffer (Philippians 1:24). This is the human condition. And, especially in the Christian earthly life. But, in spite of it (Or, because of it) you are being used by God (Even if you don't know it yet). And, yes you are forgiven and loved by God unconditionally because of what Jesus Christ has done and is still doing.
One way of looking at it, is that suffering is a process of growing away from our sinfullness. Sin is breaking God's Law. So, everyone is guilty of that physically. But Spiritually, we are growing tired of doing that and therefore, we become more willing to be free of sinful actions. In our new Spiritual state as God's children sin is no longer controlling us (Even if it is still in our fleshly bodies and in our world.) The Law of God shows us mortals just how evil we really are. But, the Holy Spirit in us shows us how we are becomming more and more Spiritually perfect like Jesus Christ. Our physical suffering and sinfulness is just a means to an end and it won't last forever. We will be free from suffering and sinfulness someday when Christ returns or even if it occurs at our physical death. And, physical death is just a door we pass through to our Spiritual Eternal home. God, through Jesus Christ will determine what and when and where that will be, either Heaven and the New Kingdom of God on Earth or not.
The quicker we accept what God has revealed by inspiration from the Holy Bible, the easier and quicker and more happy, joyous and free we will experience now in this life (And Eternally).
If you doubt me (And I am not important, only Jesus is) then try to honestly and sincerely pray, read, study and learn to follow God's Word. If you are an unbeliever then what have you got to lose? If you are a Believer then you already know. Either way, at first, you probibly won't understand much to begin with, but God will reveal only what you need to know, when you need to know it.
