Romans 5:3
The Message (MSG)
3-5There's more
to come: We continue to shout our praise even when we're hemmed in with
troubles, because we know how troubles can develop passionate patience
in us, and how that patience in turn forges the tempered steel of
virtue, keeping us alert for whatever God will do next. In alert
expectancy such as this, we're never left feeling shortchanged. Quite
the contrary—we can't round up enough containers to hold everything God
generously pours into our lives through the Holy Spirit!
