I was reading my bible, and a passage really jumped out at me tonight. I wanted to make a note of it, and felt compelled to share it.
…we also boast in our sufferings, knowing that suffering produces endurance, and endurance produces character, and character produces hope, and hope does not disappoint us, because God’s love has been poured into our hearts through the Holy Spirit that has been given to us.
Romans 5:3-5
If you’re reading this and suffering (and I imagine many people are suffering in one way or another given what’s going on), I hope you can find some comfort in this text. Through the current suffering, if we can continue to praise God, then maybe we can build some of the character and get some of the hope that St. Paul talks about.
God Bless,
Matt
