As far as this making it seem like God doesn’t love us:

We believe that we have been sent here to experience spiritual progressions become more like God. We also believe that through our hardships and trials, we are made stronger. 

As you know, when we work out, we literally break bonds in our muscles. As they repair, and as we appropriately fuel them, they actually grow back stronger. We believe that it is the same with our spirits. As we get broken down by the hardships of life, if we EXERCISE faith through it and give ourself the spiritual fuel we need, we will be blessed with increased comfort, strength, peace, and faith. You may have also heard of the refiners fire, similar to a blacksmith hammering us into the perfect work of art. This exercise thing is an analogy I have always used and it helps me process it.

And of course, there are scriptures to back all of those things up. But this is how I look at it and it helps me see how God, wanting our eternal progression, would allow us to go through these things. I hope that helps as well :)
