And not only so, but we glory in tribulations also: knowing that

And hope maketh not ashamed; because the love of God is shed abroad in our
hearts by the Holy Ghost which is given unto us. Romans 5:3-5
But if we hope for that we see not, then do we with patience wait
for it. Romans 8:25

But in all things approving ourselves as the ministers of God, in
much patience, in afflictions, in necessities, in distresses, in stripes, in
imprisonments, in tumults, in labors, in watchings, in fastings. By pureness,

unfeigned, by the Word of truth, by the power of God, by the armor of
righteousness on the right hand and on the left. 2 Corinthians 6:4-7

patience, in signs, and wonders, and mighty deeds. 2 Corinthians 12:12
Strengthened with all might, according to his glorious power, unto
all patience and longsuffering with joyfulness. Giving thanks unto the Father,
which hath made us meet to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in

into the kingdom of his dear Son. In whom we have redemption through His Blood,

patience and faith in all your persecutions and tribulations that ye endure. 2
Thessalonians 1:4
But thou, O man of God, flee these things; and follow after
righteousness, godliness, faith, love, patience, meekness. Fight the good fight
of faith, lay hold on eternal life, whereunto thou art also called, and hast
professed a good profession before many witnesses. 1 Timothy 6:11-12

faith, longsuffering, charity, patience, persecutions, afflictions, which came

Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud

before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right
hand of the throne of God. Hebrews 12:1-2

long patience for it, until he receive the early and latter rain. Be ye also
patient; stablish your hearts: for the coming of the Lord draweth nigh. James
5:7-8
Take, my brethren, the prophets, who have spoken in the name of
the Lord, for an example of suffering affliction, and of patience. Behold, we
count them happy which endure. Ye have heard of the patience of Job, and have
seen the end of the Lord; that the Lord is very pitiful, and of tender mercy.
James 5:10-11
And beside this, giving all diligence, add to your faith virtue;
and to virtue knowledge. And to knowledge temperance; and to temperance

make you that ye shall neither be barren nor unfruitful in the knowledge of our
Lord Jesus Christ. 2 Peter 1:5-8

of the truth. 2 Timothy 2:24-25
Be patient therefore, brethren, unto the coming of the Lord.

5:7-8
Rest in the Lord, and wait patiently for him: fret not thyself
because of him who prospereth in his way, because of the man who bringeth
wicked devices to pass. Psalms 37:7
I waited patiently for the Lord; and he inclined unto me, and
heard my cry. He brought me up also out of an horrible pit, out of the miry
clay, and set my feet upon a rock, and established my goings. And he hath put a
new song in my mouth, even praise unto our God: many shall see it, and fear,
and shall trust in the Lord. Blessed is that man that maketh the Lord his
trust, and respecteth not the proud, nor such as turn aside to lies. Psalms
40:1-4
For when God made promise to Abraham, because he could swear by no
greater, he sware by himself, saying, Surely blessing I will bless thee, and
multiplying I will multiply thee. And so, after he had patiently endured, he
obtained the promise. Hebrews 6:13-15
It is God's will that no one should perish (end up in hell), but that ALL should come to repentance.
For God so loved this world that He gave His only begotton Son, that whosoever believes in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
God did not send His Son into this world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him would be saved.
The thief (Satan the devil) comes only for to kill, steal and destroy. But Jesus has come to give us life, and life more abundantly, until it overflows.
I urge you to come to the Cross today and receive Jesus as your Savior and Lord. He will wash away all your sins and make you as clean and white as fresh snow.
Just pray this prayer and mean it with your heart:
Dear Lord Jesus (if you are not able to call him Lord yet, then just say "Jesus")
I receive You as my Savior and Lord. I give my life over to You. I believe that You died and rose again, and that if I call on the Name of the Lord I shall be saved.
I accept you into my heart right now, and confess that You are Lord and have risen from the dead and forever live to make intercession for me.
Thank You for washing my heart pure and clean and making me whole, and for giving me peace and joy in the Holy Spirit.
Thank You that now I am a new creature in Christ Jesus. The old has gone and the new has come.
And there is no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh (carnality and sin), but walk after the Spirit. In Jesus' Name, Amen.
If you prayed this prayer, I believe you got born again and are now heaven bound and will be with the Lord forever and have eternal life. Your sins are now forgiven. You are accepted in the Beloved.
I would encourage you to find a good Bible based local church to help you grow in your faith, to learn the Word of God, to praise and worship Him, and to have fellowship with the saints.
Serving Christ is the best decision you will ever make.
God bless you!!!
