(Psalm 23:5 NIV) God always rewards His servants in public, and I believe that He does it even more so for their enemies to see.

Glory in Suffering

Not only so, but we also glory in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance; perseverance, character; and character, hope. (Romans 5:3-4 NIV) Some people don’t want to go through the difficult things you’ve had to go, but they do want the glory that is revealed in you through those sufferings, such as endurance, whichContinueContinue reading “Glory in Suffering”
