I have heard the saying that which doesn’t kill you makes you stronger …. Sometimes it feels dramatic. Then others, very appropriate. This morning reflecting on everything that has happened in my life for the past month and in the lives of people I love – I get it!
Romans 5:3-5 The Message
There’s more to come: We continue to shout our praise even when we’re hemmed in with troubles, because we know how troubles can develop passionate patience in us, and how that patience in turn forges the tempered steel of virtue, keeping us alert for whatever God will do next. In alert expectancy such as this, we’re never left feeling shortchanged. Quite the contrary—we can’t round up enough containers to hold everything God generously pours into our lives through the Holy Spirit!
