This is my husband Carl. Twelve years ago he had a stroke. I’ve seen in his life the evidence of God’s presence in suffering and God’s healing power. To get to where he is today has required: pushing through rehab, no pity parties and not quitting, in other words…perseverance. I’ve heard it said that the most important way to impact the world for Jesus is to persevere through suffering. That’s not easy, but we want to encourage you. We’ve seen evidence that the empowering, miracle working, Good God, will be with you all the way.
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
