VERSE:
Not only so, but we also rejoice in our sufferings, because we
know that suffering produces perseverance; perseverance, character;
and character, hope.
-- Romans 5:3-4

THOUGHT:
What are you living to produce in your life? Wealth? Fame?
Status? Significance? Legacy? How about character! Isn't having the
character of God our real goal in life? So even in our worst of
times, if we can be people of character, then nothing can steal
from us our most desired goal, the character of God, given us in
Jesus Christ.
PRAYER:
Dear Father, please bless me so that I can be strong in
difficult times and consistent in holy character. Please give me a
heart of courage and compassion so that in some small way I can
more nearly remind others what you are like and what you can do in
their lives. In Jesus' name I pray. Amen.
