Hope in Suffering

Suffering is a part of life. It is easy to grow weary when hardships are all around you. Yet, hope is the anchor in the midst of suffering. Where do you find hope in the hardships of life? When we walk with Christ, we have a living hope, a proven hope, as we are called to have an active hope. No matter the trial, Christ can take hardships and make them pathways of holiness as we hold onto hope in Him alone.
