Suffering, Endurance, Character, Hope

As I was reading again through the book Romans today, verses 2-5 of chapter 5 resounded with my heart in the time of transition that my family and I are in.

Through him we have also obtained access by faith into this grace on which we stand and we rejoice in hope of the glory of God. More than that , we rejoice in our sufferings, 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 out into our hearts through the Holy Spirit who has been given to us

It is amazing how God speaks to His people through His Word in the power of the Holy Spirit in the right ways at the right time, when we are willing to listen. As much as we struggle and fight against the reading of His Word, the truth is, it is worth it to hear His voice, and for the Word to speak right into your life.

Remember that the Christian life is SIMPLE! Start by Studying the scriptures and let the God of the Universe speak intimate words just to you and for you in the Bible. Be encouraged and challenged, be diligent and focused.

Keep it SIMPLE!
