Romans 5:1-5 – "Therefore, since we have been justified through faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have gained access by faith into this grace in which we now stand. And we boast in the hope of the glory of God. Not only so, but we also glory in our sufferings, 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."

Love the simplicity and wisdom here. 🌿 It’s so refreshing to come across a quote that, in just a few words, conveys such depth and truth. There’s something really powerful about being able to express complex ideas so simply, and this quote does exactly that. It brings me back to the basics and reminds me that sometimes the most profound lessons are the simplest ones. I feel like I’m going to carry this one with me for a long time!
