The bible over and over tells us to rejoice in our sufferings. This is something that has become real to me in the year of 2010. I have asked God to keep me humble and he has, be careful what you ask for. Romans 5 says rejoice in suffering because it produces perseverance which produces character which produces hope. This year I have hung to these words many a time. As I reflect on the year I have to admit I wouldn't trade the hardships for the world. I have clung to the word of God, I have clung to God, I have actually felt joy and felt closer to God more than when I was playing it safe.
If you are suffering rejoice and I will rejoice with you.
