your highest moment a mere sentimental orgasm, and your first real contact with the primary and elemental necessities,
the sweat of your death-bed.
Very true. I have often thought that the problem with the Christian Church of our day and age is the lack of persecution. But, one would only need travel to the Middle East to witness it in its harshest form.
Romans 5
1 Therefore, since we have been justified through faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ,
2 through whom we have gained access by faith into this grace in which we now stand. And we rejoice in the hope of the glory of God.
3 Not only so, but we also rejoice in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance;
4 perseverance, character; and character, hope.
5 And hope does not disappoint us, because God has poured out his love into our hearts by the Holy Spirit, whom he has given us. |
