It All Adds Up

Tribulations.
Perseverance.
Proven Character.
Hope.
Romans 5:2-5 remind me that these burdens essential tasks to the believer working out their salvation with fear and trembling will be evident in those who hope in God.


Not only that, but I, as a child of God, will exult in them.


Wow!


And Why?


Because the love of God has been poured out within my heart through the Holy Spirit given to me. (V.5; with personalization)


I am rich. I am loved. I must persevere.
