Not only so, but we also glory in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance; perseverance, character, and character, 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. Romans 5:3-5 NIV I love this scripture because it speaks to an idea that I've heard in some self help content the idea that is we take pain and hard times on we come out stronger. As I am renewing my relationship with God after being in the dark for 17 years, I am finding that my whole life everything I was reading was already written down in the scriptures. I also found that in growing my faith I am becoming a better man.
