Nicholas Sparks / At First Sight (via abrightspark)
For it is not only in your joy we are made whole, but also in our weakness.
“…but we also rejoice in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance; perseverance, character; and character, hope. And hope does not disappoint us, because God has poured out his love into our hearts by the Holy Spirit, whom he has given us.” Romans 5:3-5 (NIV)
