Jesus Today Devotional...... YOU CAN REJOICE IN YOUR SUFFERINGS, because you know that suffering produces perseverance; perseverance, character; and character, hope. Problems that cause you pain an ultimately increase our hope. However, this doesnt happen automatically. You have to cooperate with My Spirit as He guides you through times of suffering. Perseverance is a rare commodity in this day and age. Most people look for and long for a quick fix. But lingering adversity -- accepted with trust and confidence in Me -- develops Christ-like character. This prepares you for an eternity of problem-free living with Me. Your changed character will bless you and others in this world also, because I crafted you in My own image -- to be like Me. The more you become like Me, the more you can experience hope. Your transformed character convinces you that you do indeed belong to Me. This helps you cope with the problems you face, trusting that you and I together can handle them. And the wondrous hope of heaven shines on you daily, strengthening and encouraging you.
