Suffering, Perserverance, Character, Hope, Love

Not only so, but we also rejoice in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance;
perseverance, character; and character, hope.
And hope does not disappoint us, because God has poured out his love into our hearts by the Holy Spirit, whom he has given us.

-Romans 5:3 ~ 5:5


다만 이뿐 아니라 우리가 환난 중에도 즐거워하나니 이는 환난은 인내를,
인내는 연단을, 연단은 소망을 이루는 줄 앎이로다
소망이 부끄럽게 아니함은 우리에게 주신 성령으로 말미암아 하나님의 사랑이 우리 마음에 부은바 됨이니
-로마서 5장3절-5절

환난 -> 인내 -> 역량 -> 소망 -> 사랑

결국 인간은 극대화된 고난이란 상황을 경험하고 극복함으로 말미암아 그 그릇이 커지고 소망을 키우며 사랑이 많은 사람이 된다는 결론. Then, how much adversity have I gone through, and what have I done today towards my dream? Do I have hope? Do I have love?
I am at a baby stage... haven't even got the perserverance yet. now, it's time to form my character and be hopeful and love others. Yes!
