Romans 5:1-11

I love these verses. It reminds me of the process it takes to grow in God. We can not be expected to jump in and be great at living for God right away.  It takes suffering to produce endurance, endurance to produce character, and character to produce hope, and hope in Jesus will carry us through this life. I really love these verses so much! It's a process, I have to remember, and I must keep pushing forward. Every time I suffer, I am building my endurance. But there is hope at the end of this. There is hope for an eternal life spent with my creator who loves me, who died for my sins while I was still a sinner. I will be able to thank Him for eternity.
