Lost my wife and best friend Carolynn (Lynn)

It's a tough time for you right now. But with God's help and His great love, you will heal. I know from personal experience.

In Romans chapter 5, the Apostle Paul wrote that we rejoice in the hope of the glory of God. Not only so, but we also rejoice in our sufferings because suffering produces perseverance, perseverance character, and character hope. And hope does not disappoint us because God pours out his love into our hearts by the Holy Spirit, whom he has given us.

This passage does not suggest that we rejoice because of the event in our lives that is causing us pain. It simply reassures us that God is with us, guiding us through painful times in our lives.
