“ Prayer without faith is as futile as a body without breathe. ”
Godly character is what you are when you've been tried and proven. It is not what you say you are, or what people think you are but, instead, it is what shines through after you have suffered and have endured. It is the proof of your genuineness.
~ Robin Bertram
Though the fire and water tried to overtake me, I have come out to a place of great abundance and God has given me hope again.
Genuine faith comes forth from the iron smelter of affliction.
Out of the fires of refinement, come the praise of His magnificence, the brilliance of His glory, and the honor of His precious Son, Jesus Christ.
