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

It is all about perseverance in life! And I love this Bible verse in Romans, Romans has so many great messages of hope for us! Wow, perseverance builds character and character hope! You have to have God, He gave us Jesus to help us with our sufferings, and yes, sufferings if you can have perseverance, can help to build character which leads to hope. Hope and faith are tied together in all of this! We need to persevere as humans, trusting in the Lord, knowing that He will get us through our suffering, building us to be better people, to make us have more hope! I was told by my first college advisor about perseverance back in 1993 or 1994, I had never heard of that word before, but I was doing it, persevering. I always tell my students the word too and tell them to hang in there, keep trying, don't give up, and persevere, that is all we can do, yes, it build character and it brings hope! We need to have hope in this world! Persevere!
