What Suffering Makes

Today's stop rests on Romans 5:3-4. It takes about a minute.

Suffering produces perseverance; perseverance, character; and character, hope.

The reflection

Nothing here says the suffering was good. It says it was not wasted. Those are different comforts, and the second one is the honest one.

One step forward

Name one thing hardship has taught you that ease never could.

A short prayer

Lord, you said it and I want to believe it. Where I can't yet, hold me anyway. Let these words go with me into the rest of today. Amen.
