I have been reading this book that teaches you to memorize scripture by breaking it down for you and having you do research on certain scripture. I am really loving it. Today it had me read Romans chapter five, and there is a verse that I am sure that I have heard in the past, but it means more to me today. Here it is: "Therefore since we have been justified through faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have gained access by faith into this grace in which we now stand. And we boast in the hope of the glory of God. Not only so, but we also glory in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance; perseverance, character; and character, hope. And hope does not put us to shame, because God's love has been poured out into our hearts through the Holy Spirit, who has been given to us." Romans 5:1-5

Read just what os om bold, and think about it. Think about the qualities you possess, think about how you perfected those qualities, and realize that is hope. And ho[e does not but us to shame!!
