How Does Hope Grow?

How Does Hope Grow?

What does the map of your life reveal? Years ago I was asked to map out my spiritual journey…the highs, lows and everything in between. I discovered that the most challenging times in my life coincided with the richest times of growth.

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

Who would choose to suffer? Or rejoice in it? Jesus. Because He knew the purpose in the pain. Suffering is never wasted time. God uses it to shape us and reveal Himself to us. You may not have chosen the path of suffering that you’re on. But you can have confidence that God is close, and He is working. And you are growing. – Sandi
