You cannot wish for both strong character and an easy life.  The price of each is the other.  World view?

Romans 5:3-5 Not only that, but we also glory in our suffereings because we know that suffering produces perseverance; perseverance, character; and character, hope.  And hope does not put us to shame, because God's love has been poured out into our hearts through the Holy Spirit, who has been given to us.

So instead of having a world view that we must suffer to have good character I pray that we may seek the comfort of the Holy Spirit to guide us in this hope we call Jesus Christ.

May God Bless You,

Pastor Wade Welch
