JOY IN SUFFERING

Everyday, all around us, 24/7, we see pain, sin, harm, injustice, violence, and damage in this world. Yet, in the midst of suffering, there is joy. As Jesus followers we find joy because suffering produces perseverance; perseverance produces character; and character produces hope. Our hope can never be taken away and never fails. Our hope is to be eternally with the one who died for us, Jesus.
