he will not quench;

he will faithfully bring forth justice.

and he won’t disregard the small and insignificant,

He will bring justice to all who have been wronged.

Romans 8:18 (NCV) — 18 The sufferings we have now are nothing compared to the great glory that will be shown to us.

 

Our compassionate God does not treat us harshly us.

He loves us and causes us to grow through our circumstances.

Our growth into spiritual maturity is His Goal ...

it becomes our purpose.

  We can endure until our testing is over.

Then we will be mature and complete ... (James 1:4)

Bring it on, Lord! Bring it on!

Amen.
