Your Suffering Is Never Wasted (Romans 5:3-4)
By: Betsy St. Amant Haddox Today's Bible Verse is Romans 5:3-4: Not only that, but we rejoice in our sufferings, knowing that suffering produces endurance, and endurance produces character, and character produces hope… I used to read verses like Romans 5:3-4 and squirm in my seat. I wanted to believe and experience those promises, but at the same time, deep down in my heart, I was afraid that suffering wasn't quite worth it after all. I also was confused about the true definition of suffering. I assumed it had to be something huge and life-changing to even "count", and who wanted to think about things like that? I tended to avoid verses like those instead, and just hope that the Lord would "take it easy on me." |
