“More than that, we rejoice in our sufferings, knowing that suffering produces endurance, and endurance produces character, and character produces hope, and hope does not put us to shame, because God’s love has been poured into our hearts through the Holy Spirit who has been given to us.” (Romans 5:3-5)

Let us pray: Father God, today I just want to express my heartfelt gratitude for the gift of life, forgiveness and renewal. Thank you for bringing me into your light. I have disappointed you many times and you lifted me up over and over again. You healed me completely and fixed my character. May I grow spiritually in your loving presence and live with Christ as my center Amen.
