So every one can see that our glorious power is from God and is not our own. We are pressed on every side by troubles, but we are not crushed and broken. We are perplexed, but we don’t give up and quit. We are hunted down, but God never abandons us. We get knocked down, but we get up again and keep going. Through suffering, these bodies of ours constantly share in the death of Jesus so that the life of Jesus may also be seen in our bodies.” 2 Corinthians 4:7-10 (NLT)

They develop strength of character.” Romans 5:3-4 “Pride leads to destruction and arrogance leads to downfall.” Proverbs 18:18 “Sometimes it takes a painful situation to make us change our ways.” Proverbs 20:30
