I gave you milk, not solid food, for you were not yet ready for it. Indeed, you are still not ready. I Corinthians 3:2
As men cherish young plants at first and fence them about with hedges to keep them from hurt, but when they are grown they remove these things and leave them to the wind and weather, so God sustains His children at first with props of inward comforts, but afterwards He exposes them to storms and winds because they are better able to bear them. Therefore, let no man think himself the better because he is more free from troubles than others; it is because God sees him not fit to bear greater. Richard Sibbes

After this I looked and there before me was a great multitude that no one could count, from every nation, tribe, people and language, standing before the throne and in front of the Lamb. Revelation 7:9
Jesus, the Compassionate One, covers our sins with the mantle of His love! Be as tender towards those who sin as the Master was, He remembers that we are dust; remember this of others. I will not find fault with you, my friend, if I can help it, because you will be one day without fault before the throne of God! If God will so soon remove your faults, why should I take note of them? Charles Haddon Spurgeon
