From Romans 5:3-4:  “And not only that, but we also boast in our afflictions, knowing that affliction produces endurance, and endurance produces character, and character produces hope.”

Relationship challenges

Sin attempts to break apart

Holy Spirit never rests

Love’s flame nurtures pair of hearts

Faithful steps follow Jesus

Light sharing grace every day

Together, praying as one

Love fills tomorrow’s gateway

Father extends helping hand

Darkness replaced with sunrise

Endurance sustains journey

Love eclipses gloomy skies

Marriage healing and growing

Faith’s commitment now restored

Mercy’s lasting promises

Love’s hymn, vows renewing chords

From Romans 5:5:  “And hope does not put us to shame, because God’s love has been poured into our hearts through the Holy Spirit that has been given to us.”
