Read this short column from TODAY newspaper. Truly speaks volumes about how trials in our life build up that resilency, character and persevering spirit within us.- Reading this article WILL NOT build resilency within us.
- Neither will capturing it as a knowledge which we can quote or tell stories to our friends build any character within us.
- This article serves only as a reminder for us to be mindful about endurance when we face the next challenge.
Remember, Application brings about Transformation!
Romans 5:1Therefore, since we have been justified through faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, 2through whom we have gained access by faith into this grace in which we now stand. And we rejoice in the hope of the glory of God. 3Not only so, but we also rejoice in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance; 4perseverance, character; and character, hope. 5And hope does not disappoint us, because God has poured out his love into our hearts by the Holy Spirit, whom he has given us.
James 1:2Consider it pure joy, my brothers, whenever you face trials of many kinds, 3because you know that the testing of your faith develops perseverance. 4Perseverance must finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything...... 12Blessed is the man who perseveres under trial, because when he has stood the test, he will receive the crown of life that God has promised to those who love him.
