Romans 5:3-5 (The Message)

There'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!

Praise God even in the storms! Although the storms can be hard and unbearable at times, there can be benefits in riding out the storm. The core benefit being a changed life. If we keep our heart and attitude in the right place we will build character and have strong virtue in our lives; "tempered steel virtue". God wants us to live a life which is full and blessed. He will not shortchange us. God will give us an abundant life as he pours his love into our lives!
