Bible Quote by Steve Gladen
““The Bible tells us that suffering is the product of a broken and fallen world. But as believers, we are blessed to have a unique perspective. Romans 12 provides some insight into how we should be dealing with suffering. In Romans 12:12, we read, “Be joyful in hope, patient in affliction, faithful in prayer.” Romans 12:15 tells us, “Rejoice with those who rejoice; mourn with those who mourn.””
