Roman’s 5:3-5-Not only that, but we rejoice in our suffering knowing that suffering produces endurance and endurance produces character and character produces hope, and hope does not put us to shame, because God’s love has been poured into our hearts through the Holy Spirit who was given to us.
Paul discribes in the text the relationship of suffering, endurance, character, and hope with God’s love and the Holy Spirit that’s been given to us. The opportunity presented by suffering, grow through what you go through and let it be a time in which you grow in endurance, character and hope.
James1:2-3-Count it all joy my brothers, when you meet trials of various kinds for you know the testing of your faith produces steadfastness.
People who trust God ask Him for wisdom and they take what He gives.People who trust God make a bigger deal about their rewards in the next life than their wealth in this one.People who trust God don’t blame Him for their desires and sin; they give him Him credit for all that is good in their lives.
Luke21:19-Stand firm and you will win life.Luke tells us to take possession of our souls through patience.But many of us prefer to stay at the entrance of our Christian life, instead of going with the new life God has placed within us.
Phillipians1:29-For it has been granted to you on behalf of Christ not only to believe in him, but also to suffer for him.
There is an attitude among Christians that some how they supposed to be exempt for suffering.
Phillipians says God has designed suffering in the life of the believer so that he or she will represent Jesus Christ in it.
Grow through what you go through.
God bless
