suffering produces endurance produces character produces hope

"Not only that, but we rejoice in our sufferings, knowing that suffering produces endurance, and endurance produces character, and character produces hope." - Romans 5:3-4

Rejoice in suffering? If this phrase has you scratching your head, join the crown. But, when we look at the progression from suffering to endruance to character to hope, maybe this starts to make sense. Are you willing to endure some challenges to get to hope?
