Today’s Bible Verse: “We rejoice in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance; perseverance, character; and character, hope.” — Romans 5:3–4


Romans 5:3–4 offers a perspective that feels almost upside down—finding purpose in suffering. During Lent, as we reflect on the suffering of Christ, this passage invites us to consider how our own hardships can be part of God’s shaping work in us.
