Romans 5:3-5 ” We rejoice in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance; perseverance, character; and character, hope. And hope does not disappoint us…”

God never wastes our pain. Every anguish filled moment, every miserable situation, every stressful suffering will never be a pointless exercise in the hands of God. For He tells us in Romans 8:28 that we have the assurance that in all things He works for the good of those who love Him…and that includes every tribulation, affliction, and hardship we’ll every experience here on earth. Therefore, we can then view our pain in a more positive light and ask ourselves, “How can this develop my faith and bring me closer to Jesus, for my good and His glory?”
