"Not only so, but we rejoice in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance; perseverance, character; and character, hope. And hope does not disappoint us, because God has poured out his love into our hearts by the holy Spirit, whom he has given us."
Our characters are truly built when we are pushed to the limit. The true test is seeing how i take all the sufferings and stress, and how i come out of it. The byproducts of sufferings, if you will. Do i continue to complain about lack of this & that? Or..do i just put my hope and faith in the Lord, and believe that He has that greater plan? KNOW & BELIEVE. even though you can't see Him, He's always giving us hints and clues in our chaotic lives- most of which we miss because we are so caught up in our own miseries.
Lord-- i really need you this week. Help me not to succumb to Satan's temptations and give up, but to persevere and keep pressing on. Move forward, not sideways and certainly not backwards.
