romans 5:3-5
i dont remember when i came across this scripture...but i absolutely LUV it! it just really speaks to me personally cause over the past couple of years my family has been through alot and the more hardships that come our way...blessings always follow doubling whatever we need. when i was younger i used to wonder why in the Bible and even then why God would let His people suffer, but the more i have come to know Him and the more I seek Him each day I realize as the scripture says below ("for we know that they help us develop endurance. And endurance develops strength of character, and character strengthens our confident hope of salvation" ) that each hardship and trial we go through will strengthen us. i can remeber when my daddy was going through hip replacements a few years ago. it was so hard for me cause when the doctors first diagnosed him with AVN before his surgerys they told him that he would never be able to walk and he would be in a whell chair the rest of his life...well my daddy doesnt use wheel chair or a walker or a cain...he walks! we prayed for God to heal him and we let go through the time we didnt know why God put in our path and he made something amazing out of it! so dont give up if ur struggelin with something or going through a rough time right now just let it all go and give it to God...well i just wanted to encourage you through this awesome scripture!!!!! : )
"We too can rejoice when we run into problems and trials, for we know that they help us develop endurance. And endurance develops strength of character, and character strengthens our confident hope of salvation. And this hope will not lead to disappointment. For we know how dearly God loves us, because he has given us the Holy Spirit to fill our hearts with his love." Romans 5:3-5
