So this morning, when I finally got on Facebook this morning, our sister Linda posted the following scripture then right under her post on my timeline, my sister/mentor Jacqui had a post on the SAME SCRIPTURE with a message with it. So enjoy the encouragement of the Lord!
And not only this, but we exult in our tribulations, knowing that tribulation brings about perseverance, proven character, hope; And hope does not disappoint, because the love of God has been poured out within our hearts through the Holy Spirit who was given to us. Romans 5:3-5
We learn through trials how not to “lose it”. We look around at the circumstance and it is a fear-full thing indeed. Yet, we can come to the place where we laugh because we know it is only temporary. Fear, anxiety, and depression rob us of our health and our ability to enjoy the ride! Life is filled with ups and downs. Trust in the One who will ride with you to the end. Learn to give thanks in all situations. Maintain peace inside. Your physical body will thank you for it.
Enjoy the ride!
