Suffering

1 Therefore, since we have been justified through faith, we have
peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, 2 through whom we have
gained access by faith into this grace in which we now stand. And we
rejoice in the hope of the glory of God. 3 Not only so, but we also
rejoice in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces
perseverance; 4 perseverance, character; and character, hope. 5And
hope does not disappoint us, because God has poured out his love into
our hearts by the Holy Spirit, whom he has given us.

We all go through times of suffering... Sometimes it's just a few
minutes or hours, other times it can be days, weeks, months or even
years... Suffering can be somewhat meaningless like having to sit
through a college class you don't like... Most of the time, it is
thought of as something very meaningful like family problems or
financial difficulties. Whatever it is, you can always trust God to
pull you through those times and get you back on your feet. He is
always there for you, waiting on you to come to Him. He will never
allow you to go through something you can't handle (with His help).
God also wants you to rejoice and praise Him through our sufferings
because suffering produces perseverance; perseverance produces
character; and character produces hope.

Hope you all have a great day and remember to always praise Him
No matter what!!!
