… we also boast in our sufferings, knowing that suffering produces endurance, 
and endurance produces character, and character produces hope, and hope
does not disappoint us, because God’s love has been poured into our hearts

character, feed their hope and lead them in your beautiful, redeeming, nonviolent
ways.
